Coyotes have terrorized the fine people of Harlem, Rye and Columbia University, but now the wily canis latrans have crossed over into the borough of Queens. The critter was recently found in Calvary Cemetery, and wildlife expert Paul Curtis says the coyote was probably born last spring and kicked out of his home to make room for new cubs. Curtis also says he's most likely looking for a mate, and may scratch up some pet dogs in the process. Young guy on his own for the first time and looking for love? He should check out Murray Hill.
