The wild life of NYC is back! (New York, Hudson: crime, horses)

Or wildlife.

I love NYC's interest in the animal stories.

Eagles, Beavers, Sea Turtles: Why N.Y.C. Is Humming With Wildlife
New York is now ‘the greenest big city on earth,’ one naturalist said. Some creatures have noticed, and are staying for a while.
There have been bats and endangered butterflies, wild and rare native bees; a coyote in Central Park; beavers, salamanders and leopard frogs in Staten Island; a bobcat, mink and several foxes in the Bronx, along with endangered alewife herring and American eels traversing fish ladders in the Bronx River while hungry osprey and egrets lurk nearby; large wild oysters and tiny sea horses at piers along the Hudson River; baby damselflies, the world’s most endangered sea turtles and a baby seal in Queens; and exotic insects not seen in decades in Brooklyn.
New York City is experiencing a surprising return of native wildlife, in numbers and diversity remarkable even to local ecologists and parks officials. “You are seeing miraculous occurrences of wildlife right in the middle of the city,” Mr. Benepe said.

I love it myself. I get a good hearty laugh out of a raccoon crossing in Central Park and grown adults being scared of em

Me too.

I thought it was going to be about fun crazy times to have out in New York City.

If any of these creatures can help reduce the rat population, then that's a good thing.

Good point. Maybe they should research some choices of animals to import. Bobcats?

Ha I thought you would be describing the other aspects of "wild life" in NYC including crazy parties and crime on the streets. But this is a good point about NYC being the greenest city. I like that!
