Although the occasional Manhattan sighting is rare, the creature has established itself with a monument in the Bronx.
Yes, "The Bronx even has a monument to coyotes. A bronze statue of a coyote at the southwest entrance to Van Cortlandt Park commemorates, according to its plaque, 'the first confirmed coyote sighting in New York City since 1946' -- a 29-pound female that perished on the nearby Major Deegan Expressway on Feb. 8, 1995. A different coyote is now known to have been in the nearby Woodlawn Cemetery as long ago as October 1994, but the Parks Department did not learn about it until after the Feb. 8 coyote was confirmed.
The bronze coyote, installed in 1998, was an idea of Ricardo Hinkle, a landscape architect for the Parks Department, who designed the green where the coyote stands proudly atop a boulder, gazing skyward to the south. 'That was the idea -- the coyote enters New York City,' Mr. Hinkle said."
