Coyotes are stretching out in a silent San Fransisco; goats roam wide-open Wales — and now in New York City, adorable goslings waddle without a care.

Like savvy tourists, this family of Canada geese took in the Manhattan skyline in an otherwise desolate DUMBO on Saturday night, a scene captured by Post photographer Paul Martinka.

The five fledglings seemed at ease in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Martinka said.

“It looked like they were sightseeing and enjoying themselves,” he said. “Two people walking a dog took cell phone photos, but no one else was around.”

The web-footed troop lingered on a Manhattan Bridge underpass for a few minutes before wobbling back into the grassy park.

“For sure they were enjoying the empty park,” Martinka said. “Absolutely.”

Not all New York City wildlife is flourishing under lockdown.

While geese may be rearing new goslings, the city’s infamously resilient population of rats is starving and resorting to war and cannibalism to survive.
