An Evening with the Central Park Coyotes and Beyond

Join The Explorers Club on to learn about Central Park coyotes Romeo and Juliet, as well as the other coyotes roaming the urban wilderness of the Big Apple. New York City is known for its global diversity – residents of the Big Apple speak over 200 languages and represent countless cultures from around the globe. Lesser known and discussed is the diversity of urban wildlife who similarly call the home. In recent years, two new transplants have stolen headlines and hearts: Romeo and Juliet, a pair of Eastern Coyotes living in Central Park. Last summer, urban wildlife photographers (and Romeo + Juliet superfans) David Lei and Jacqueline Emery were joined by New York Times reporter Dodai Stewart for a viral article on the couple. Joining them during this evening at The Explorers Club will be Chris Nagy, cofounder of the Gotham Coyote Project, an organization dedicated to studying the ecology of the northeastern coyote in New York City and the region. Learn more about these elusive new residents of the city, and the future of coexistence with our urban wildlife. This in-person event at the Explorers Club Headquarters will include an audience Q&A.
