CHICAGO - For one day, at least, the roadrunner was safe. It seems the coyote was hankering for another kind of fast food. Employees and customers at a downtown Chicago Quiznos sandwich shop were stunned to see a coyote walk through the propped-open front door Tuesday afternoon and lie down in a cooler stocked with fruit juice and soda.

"It wasn't aggressive at all," restaurant manager Bina Patel told the Chicago Tribune. "It was just looking around."

Employees and customers calmly cleared out of the restaurant, though some took the time to finish their sandwiches and snap some cell-phone photos, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Animal control officers took the passive coyote away after about 40 minutes, after a curious crowd had gathered outside.

"This one definitely I will definitely remember forever. A coyote in downtown Chicago," Quiznos employee Rick Torres told WLS-TV.

The city captures 10 to 15 coyotes every year, especially in the spring when they are most active, said Anne Kent, director of Chicago Animal Care and Control. Veterinarians will examine the coyote and, if he is not injured, release him into the wild.

yea my bf was telling me that it has been happening a lot lately... i feel it has a lot to do with the destruction of the enviroment/woods to build houses, etc.. which is very sad!!! :(

in conn, there are a lot of huge roosters all over the place because they destructed their woods/home.... so they have no where to go... so they end up on people's properties, street, etc... how sad! :(

Better be safe than being sorry and face lawsuits.

This coyote is more likely to be devoured by vultures, bacteria, and larger predators. How is human any different from these ?

That's so coldest comment I have ever heard of. What if it's happens to you someday? Go to Sudan, Africa and see what's happens over there.

As for this proper thread, that's werid but funny. I have seen 12-points buck in the downtown of the small town that just outside of Austin, Texas.
