So… coyotes in Manhattan.

They caught one. But that’s not the funny part. The funny part is that the coyote was then released in an ‘appropriate wilderness area in the Bronx.’ It’s not that the Bronx has no wilderness areas – it’s got tons of open space, thanks to a deliberate civic program – it’s that I’m pretty sure that none of it is particularly appropriate for coyotes.  Although the coyotes would probably disagree.  Given that they’ve spent the last century or two cheerfully moving east, using all those bridges that we so helpfully built to cross major rivers and whatnot, possibly they have a point…

PS: I kind of wanted them to release the coyote in Brooklyn so that I could have made a hipster joke.  No, it’s true, I am dead to shame.
