Barnard’s Director of Public Safety Dianna Pennetti informed the community this morning that Frightening Animals were spotted on Columbia’s campus this morning.
They weren’t hawks. They were coyotes. In front of Lewisohn. Who says we’re too urban?
Full email after the jump.
Dear All,
Columbia Public Safety reports the possible presence of coyote’s on the Morningside Campus.
Three animals identified as coyotes were observed in front of Lewisohn Hall this morning, 911 was contacted and NYPD responded. NYPD spotted one of the
animals and confirmed it was a coyote. The one coyote that was seen by NYPD and CUPS went behind the CEPSR build and it is believed exited the campus.
An additional sighting by CU facilities was called in approximately 10:00 AM this morning but was not confirmed. All members of the community are advised not to approach these animals.If there are any sightings, please call Columbia Public Safety immediately at 212-854-5555 or Barnard Public Safety at 212-854-3362.
Thank You,
Dianna M. Pennetti
Director of Public Safety

“possible presence of coyote’s”
I’ve always known those GS students were hairy, but my god!
Sure they’re not Barnard girls? it might be that time of month…
columbia girls don’t get their period or anything.
Makes sense. Columbia men cause menopause in Columbia women.
haha pwned

coyotes are urban animals. yeah. nice try.
They’ve adapted to urban life when their habitats have been destroyed, but they’re not urban animals.
The same holds for me, of course…

IT WAS JACOB! <33333
i feel like a nerd for getting that reference. and a double nerd for finding it hilarious.
us nerds don’t want to be clumped in with those sparkly vampire-loving cat ladies.
clearly public safety does not believe in the active voice.
.
that ain’t no coyote – that’s a harlem rat!
Apparently not the first one this year: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/01/20/new.york.harlem.coyote/index.html
Oh and a pic of one in Central Park from the 4th on the NYT site http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/04/coyote-on-ice/
Professor Lupin!
maybe my letter to hogwarts will finally arrive!
i love you.
if only.
They are coyotes, not wolves.
for reals people, coyote does not equal werewolf
Just when you think Columbia can’t possibly throw anything else at you, they bust out the coyotes!
