A lone coyote was roaming around the field at the school my kids attend, yesterday at dismissal time. The students got so excited and the little ones especially decided to chase it, they got dangerously close to it. Eventually the principal came out and led everyone inside and I believe they called Animal Control. I whisked my kids off quickly, although they, being from FL, were of the opinion we should get closer and take some pictures.
Poor coyote though, I think it was more scared of the shrieking kids than vice versa. Although who knows at what point it would feel threatened and decide to attack.
As we walked away, I could still see it just hanging around the field, minding its own business.
Interesting to see this interaction between man and nature, and I couldn't help wondering who encroached upon whose territory.
I wonder what happens to it after they catch it (if they do).
