Van Cort, the 6-month-old coyote pup found in the Bronx on Wednesday, is still looking for a home. Well, actually the folks at Animal Care & Control are: The AC&C tells the Post, "We are in the process of reaching out to some other organizations to see what the best course of action would be" for the coyote's next chapter of life. Apparently the pup may need to be "taught such essential coyote skills as how to hunt for food," ideally at an upstate animal sanctuary. It's unclear if he'll learn how to chase road runners.

Yesterday, 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.
