Evasive coyote seen roaming Central Park in New York

CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan (WABC) – A coyote was spotted in Central Park last week – a rare sighting of a wild canine that had already been spotted in January.

The wild canine was seen wandering last Monday near the Conservatory Water, a pond on the east side of the park near 74th Street.

There are reports that coyotes have lived in New York City for the past 30 years, but only one lives in Central Park.

The New York Parks Department says that anyone who sees the animal should be calm and contact the Park staff if he appears aggressive or fearless.
