Maybe they’re looking for Road Runner.
Coyotes have been spotted in Central Park several times in the last two weeks — including one daylight sighting that was captured on video.
In a clip posted to social media on Thursday, one beautiful brush dog prances from the woods, hops over a fence, to take a casual trot up and around a path in Central Park near the Ramble.
The coyote looks to be a healthy weight and has a full coat, equipped with a particularly fluffy tail.
This kind of canine candid is rare — coyotes, though not nocturnal, are usually not seen during the daylight hours.
Another sighting last week counted two coyotes going across an iced over Turtle Pond near the Great Lawn, according to the West Side Rag.
“They started around 10 to 15 meters from me, and then Maya [her dog] started barking and ran them across the ice,” Upper West Sider Sara Xing told the outlet about her encounter.
That pair of coyotes could be the famous pair of pups who found love in the hopeless place last year.
Coyotes are monogamists and typically mate for life.
There has been an uptick in coyote sightings in Manhattan since 2019.
The Park’s Department and the Central Park Conservancy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
