NYC Traps Coyote
Who would have thought…a coyote was trapped in New York City.
A wily coyote led sharpshooters armed with tranquilizer guns on a merry chase through Central Park before being captured on Wednesday.

The coyote, nicknamed Hal by Parks Department staffers, may have wandered into the city from Westchester County, perhaps swimming across a river, Benepe said. Another coyote found its way to Central Park in 1999 and is now kept in the Queens Zoo.
I can’t wait until more Hals start showing up in big cities…could our own city of Brotherly Love be next?
Questions are now being raised as to what exactly killed “Hal,” the nickname bestowed upon the coyote.
