Coyote takes casual morning stroll through QueensBy Katherine Donlevy

The latest contender for the mayor’s rat czar position was seen hunting the streets of Queens Wednesday.
A coyote was spotted on a morning stroll through the Glen Oaks neighborhood around 7 a.m., the NYPD said.
Video shows the canine calmly walking on the sidewalk along 81st Street with its head forward and ears lowered.
Police said the coyote had also visited several backyards — with one resident capturing a snapshot of the canine striking a pose at the camera while heading for a hole in the fence.
The carnivores — which have a penchant for small rodents like rats and squirrels — can weigh close to 50 pounds and stand over 2 feet tall but are generally afraid of humans.
