Not saying no place else has them, what I am saying is that most other places wouldn't list them as part of the "wildlife" you may see.
I think they are talking about rats and mice that are living in city parks. That makes them wild animals and part of the food chain.
In any case, New York City actually has large colonies of wading birds like herons and egrets. Jamaica Bay has large flocks of waterfowl and is a important wintering area for Arctic geese and ducks. Outside the city, there are black bears in the North Jersey and Hudson Valley suburbs and sea turtles and seals in Long Island and Connecticut waters.
How about a direct subway stop at one of the airports. You think the city with the best transit could get a station at the airports instead of just the AirTrain link. Laguardia does not even have that.

Nope and I don't even think that would be a good thing, the NYC subway is already OVER capacity on many lines.
However I think there are/were plans to extend the N? to LaGuardia since it's only blocks away or something like that. The AirTrain connects to one of the busiest transit stations in NYC, I think it's (AirTrain + LIRR) faster than an extension of the A train to JFK.

Haha it isn't a few blocks from the N/W train, def further than that. I lived in the neighborhood for a while. It's more like a mile and a half from the subway, lol.
Well, in the area of Jerome Ave/170 st there are a decent amount, lol. The school I used to teach at.
Oh yeah they are starting to move in now lol. The Little Italy in the Bronx is being populated by Mexicans as well. There are almost no Italians in that section anymore lol. Only the restaurants are Italian-owned I guess.
There is no connection to nature in New York City. I remember visiting New Mexico as an adult and wishing that I had the opportunity to go camping and riding a horse when younger like many kids growing up there have. I mean really camping in the wilderness, not going to a "camp." I think that closeness to the land gives a balance to life that is often missing in NYC. I love New York but the emphasis it places on acquiring all things man-made can be unhealthy. The ability to drive out of the city and really be in open country is something we cannot do here.
Cow Pasture. Cheap housing. Great driving conditions. Palm trees. Hunting grounds. I was going to say dead skunks in the road, but I think you do see those in NYC on occasion.
