Sorry, Sir, No Roadrunners Here

Okay, we've gotten enough stories about coyotes entering residential neighborhoods and eating pets that it's no longer a novelty at all. My town's Nextdoor posts are, like, 80% about coyotes eating people's dogs. I saw an emaciated coyote stroll down the middle of my street a while back. That's to say it's not news when a coyote shows up where coyotes aren't supposed to be, but once in a while it's too unusual, like in this story, involving a coyote trapped in a bathroom at Nashville's Music City Center convention hall. The animal wandered up a ramp and the employees semi-surrounded him to guide him into a bathroom; a cop came by and didn't want to euthanize the poor thing, so she took the coyote into her squad car and drove him to the woods to release him. Nice. Oh, in case you aren't familiar with the building in question, it's right in the middle of downtown Nashville, right across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Bridgestone Arena. Last time I was in Nashville, my hotel was right across the street. The nearest wilderness is... well, you'd at least have to take an Uber. That coyote came a LONG way. (WTVF/Nashville)
