Supercute Coyote Pup Found in the Bronx

2008_07_coyote.jpgYesterday, we mentioned that a coyote was spotted near the Horace Mann School in the Bronx. It turns out the coyote was a pup of about 6 months. Animal Care and Control took the little fella to its Manhattan facility and nicknamed the 9-pound coyote "Van Cort," since he was near Van Cortlandt Park. A specialist told the Post, "My guess would be that he was part of a litter. Maybe it was hunting and it got lost." Van Cort will probably be headed to an animal sanctuary upstate; more pictures here.

Supercute, right...until they start getting into your garbage, and attacking your cats and dogs right in your own yard.

Sounds like the perfect pet for the 5 year old who tried to kill grandma.

Eat some dicks! Baby puppies are supercute. SUPERCUTE!!!!

Coyotes don't just attack your cats and dogs, they kill and eat them. I didn't know they had invaded New York City.

Well there was that one in Central Park a few years back, 4.
