If you see something, say something…..not on Reddit though

As a bus driver myself I can say 100% that this statement is correct. Many of us will say it to cover ourselves but don’t actually care if you listen. It’s just if there happens to a supervisor on our bus we can say “I told them to fold it, they didn’t listen.” Very few will be a jerk and refuse to drive if you keep walking.

Last time we all just stared at each other until it turned away back into the woods. A few days later a lady I know encountered one while walking her large 70lb dog but she did the wrong thing and ran from it so it “chased her down the block” according to her. I’m sure she exaggerated a little but I heard her screaming at 1 in the morning so she was no for sure scared

Yeah I moved across the bx to the westside of it. The ones I encountered, maybe they were adolescents, did not hide from me at all. They all were quite curious and would walk towards me. When I’m alone it’s fine but it freaks me out when I’m walking my two small dogs

I had lived in Pelham bay park area for like over 5 years and have never heard reports of any in that area. Plenty of skunks, raccoons even rabbits one particular year. Just 5 months ago I moved across the bx to spuyten duyvil and have had numerous run-ins with coyotes. They are much larger than I expected and despite the shared article they are a big fan of ripping into garbage bags and are more frequent on garbage collection nights.
