How does a pack of Coyotes get on campus at Columbia University?

Dude, that's my brother's neighborhood. The photo of the coyote was taken where we catch the subway when we visit. As far as I know, he has not been raising coyotes.

Walk in from Westchester. There have been coyotes in Central Park for ten years or so.

I'm trying to remember the name of the viaduct that brings in water from a reservoir in Westchester. There's a kind of green space all along its route. The 'yotes followed that.

If there are deer in Central Park, I guarantee they'll be all over Manhattan soon. Bambis are EXTREMELY adaptable. The place I used to work was kinda "Out in the country", at night, it was not uncommon to hear the Coyotes baying & howling. Kinda creepy the 1st time or 2 you heard 'em, though.

They're all over the place around here. Yet you hardly ever see one, they almost never get hit by a car (hell of a lot smarter than Bambi in that regard), and the hunters have to go to great lengths to even get a shot at one.

I like 'em, myself.

For a moment I thought y'all were talking Wall Street.

seems like a 10 foot fence would have stopped them.

I lived up there back in the early 90's but never saw a coyote.

I love 'em. Them and foxes. Of course, I'm sort of a dog lover so it makes sense. Here in CA I see coyotes all the time but they're now in all the lower 48.

Nope! Believe me, if the Mississippi River didn't stop them a little fence wouldn't have even slowed them up.
