Elusive coyote spotted wandering through Central Park in NYC

CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan (WABC) – A coyote was spotted in Central Park last week – a rare sighting of the wild dog previously spotted in January.

The wild dogs were spotted last Monday near Conservatory Water, a dam on the east side of the park near 74th Street.

Coyotes have reportedly lived in New York for the past thirty years, but there is reportedly only one living in Central Park.

The NYC Parks Department says anyone who sees the animal should remain calm and contact Parks staff if it appears aggressive or fearless.
