According to city officials, New York City is seeing an increase in its wildlife diversity, with coyotes now making their presence felt in the bustling urban landscape. Over the past few years, coyotes have been spreading across various boroughs, driven by the availability of food and sufficient space. Interestingly, these adaptable creatures have now found homes in all NYC boroughs except for Brooklyn, as confirmed by officials.
There have been reports of coyote sightings, particularly in Claremont Park in the Bronx. Officials are pointing out that during this season, residents are more likely to come across these elusive animals due to the earlier sunsets.
It’s important to note that coyotes are generally not a significant threat and usually avoid contact with humans. However, if you happen to see one of these fascinating city dwellers, it’s recommended to report the sighting to Wildlife NYC for the appropriate response.
