Coyote Pulled From Aldi Cold Food Section Is 'In Great Shape,' Slated For Release To Wild
HuffPost
Wildlife rehabbers theorized the animal ducked into the supermarket, then hid among refrigerated items to "hide from people inside the store.”
Shoppers at an Aldi in Chicago got one deal they hadn’t bargained for on Monday ― a coyote hiding in the grocery store’s refrigerated section.
Video of the incident, which didn’t look pleasant for the coyote, went viral earlier this week. The footage shows Chicago police officers attempting to wrangle the canine with a mop, then pulling him out by his tail before he scurries back under a cold food display.
Ultimately, city animal control officers arrived and took the coyote into custody, CBS News reported. The coyote was then transferred to the care of Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation.
“The coyote is unharmed, but he is scared,” the nonprofit wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “We will return him to the wild as he is ready.”
The wildlife facility floated the theory that the coyote went into the store trying to flee “human traffic” and then “hid in the refrigerated section in an attempt to hide from people inside the store.”
