Coyote Sightings Bring Cameras To Inwood Hill Park in northern Manhattan and also in Central Park-36 sightings over the past 30 years
and sent out tips after rare sightings of coyotes,
and reportedly coyote pups, at the Inwood Hill Park(picture below),
Coyotes live mostly in the Bronx and have more recently been spotted in the north end of Central Park and Pelham Bay and Van Cortlandt Parks in the Bronx, among other places..... breeding in the Bronx and now, on the verge of doing so in Manhattan
INWOOD, NY — Coyotes more
typically found in Queens or The
Bronx might have made their way
to Inwood Hill Park, and prompted
a new set-up of cameras to track the
wild animals, parks officials said this week.
The city's Parks Department sent out
a notice Saturday warning residents to
not get too close and to protect their
pets from coyotes that residents sahave
been spotted in the 196-acre park,
which borders the Bronx, where the
animals are more typically known to live.
The Parks Department didn't say how
many sightings there have been, but
at least five residents had discussed
spotting the coyotes on a Facebook
group set up for Inwood dog owners.
"...At first I saw only one and thought, '
Oh my god that's a stray dog, should
we go after it?'" Samantha Arbuiso
wrote on the group on Jan. 19. "We
started walking up the hill towards
the baseball field and then right there
at the top to the right were 2 more!!"
