Coyote On The Roof

That most adaptable of animals, way outside its natural range:

Brian Porter, owner of the bar in Queens' Long Island City neighborhood, was shocked when he first saw the animal.

"It was a pretty big animal, by the far biggest coyote I've ever seen," said Porter, who thinks it reached the roof through an opening in an old paint factory behind the bar.

Quigley and his cousin snapped photos from the safety of their office as an employee from City Vet -- a veterinarian's office located next door -- climbed up to get a better look at the animal, he said.

"She came back pretty quick cause she saw it was not a dog," he said.
