NextImg:Coyotes have ‘expanded their turf’ in NYC with spike in sightings: report

Coyotes are increasingly roaming the Big Apple, according to a report.

The animals have “expanded their turf” throughout much of New York City, with several sightings of the four-legged friends recently in Claremont Park in the Bronx.

Plenty of food and space make the city hospitable for coyotes, who now live in every borough except Brooklyn, officials told Pix 11 news.

Sightings surged in 2019, when a coyote was spotted in Central Park and even charged at a person.

Earlier this year, a coyote took a leisurely morning stroll through Queens and a month later, one was rescued from the East River.

Officials said sightings are more likely this time of year because the sun is setting earlier.

Coyotes are generally more active at night.

They are usually not dangerous and try to avoid people, but should be reported to Wildlife NYC if seen.

Officials searched for two coyotes in Riverside Park in August.

Coyotes are just some of the city’s animal residents.

In 2019, wild turkeys continued to swarm Staten Island and before that, vasectomies were used to control the rampant deer population there.
