Coyotes Thriving in New York City - Christopher Nagy

Coyotes are some of the most adaptable animals in the canine world. The opportunistic feeders have recently been spotted in New York City, of all places, but an aggressive encounter isn't likely, says the Gotham Coyote Project's Christopher Nagy. He explains that in most cases, the coyote knows we're coming well before we see them, and they stay hidden. In most cases, the only chance of aggression is if the coyote mothers are protecting pups. With as much as 19% of New York City listed as park space, there are plenty of places for coyotes to hide inside the concrete jungle.
