During a wild chase that lasted some 20 hours, New York City's finest met their match in an elusive coyote nicknamed Hal.  Police sharpshooters finally took down the animal Wednesday with a tranquilizer -- but not before his pursuit triggered the evacuation of an ice-skating rink and caught the attention of TV news helicopters.

it swam the hudson and lived??? say it aint so... "He speculated the animal possibly swam across a river to reach the island of Manhattan. It was first seen at 1:30 a.m. Sunday and wrongly identified as a wolf, according to the parks department."

I love how they evacuated the skating rink not because of danger from
the coyote but because of all the cops running madly after it toting
guns.
