We already knew deer could get it. What I didn't know is that there are apparently deer in NYC?!

Probably the parks in far bronx and queens. There’s some real gems of greenery out there!

Nahhh these are urban deer. They spend a huge amount of time walking on asphalt and such, not just grass

I've seen hawks in the East Village and raccoons in Queens. A coworker went on vacation and came back to find a bat in her apartment in the Bronx. And I believe wolves are now being spotted in some of the outer boroughs

Raised in queens my whole life this is news to me too. In Long Island definitely and driving the HH to westchester you’ll see signs warning of deers crossing. I’ve never been to Staten Island (why would I do that to myself)

Hey- it’s not a bad place. Nicer than being crammed on top of people and I enjoyed easy access to Manhattan my whole life. The hate for Staten Island is just unnecessary. Anyway, I live here, and I have seen deer in the parks and Greenbelt. I see a few a year, so they are fairly common.

No kidding. I think we knew like 5 months in that deer get COVID.

And there are deer in the Bronx and Staten Island.
