Other Manhatten wildlife
There are lots of Red-necked terrapins in Central Park, which I assume are the same species which are frequently (and annoyingly) introduced into lakes in the UK. I'm not sure if they are native here, or just an introduction.
This is a Callery pear tree growing at the World Trade Centre memorial site. It's known as survivor tree, because it survived the wreckage of Ground Zero.
This is some type of violet, I don't know which.
There are lots of very tame Grey Squirrels in Central Park. This is a dark form.
