In the spring this year in New York, Chris St Lawrence would finish work as a naturalist on a whale-watching boat and then quickly make the 90-minute trek to Central Park to arrive in time for sunset, when a pair of coyotes would often start to creep out.
St Lawrence, who is also a photographer, said it’s taxing to stand for four hours on a boat, keeping his eyes peeled for marine mammals, and then to remain just as alert at the park in the middle of Manhattan, looking for Romeo and Juliet, as the coyotes have become known.
