A couple years ago when I was out golfing by myself, I saw something really cool ... A coyote was within 10 feet of me and didn't seem afraid at all.

What happened in Chicago over the weekend seems like something out of a movie. A wild coyote was captured in downtown Chicago.
A 4 minute video hit YouTube showing the coyote confused and trapped. The video's caption says, "Special thanks to Chicago's animal control and police department for swiftly resolving the issue on Easter Sunday!"
There has been an increase in coyotes in the city over recent years. In February KQED reported that they were thought to be recolonizing the places they used to inhabit abundantly after being nearly wiped out through poisoning and hunting from the '40s onwards. After years of zero sightings in San Francisco, a coyote was seen in the Presidio in 2002, thought to have been brought over from a trapper in the North Bay or possibly even making its way alone over the Golden Gate Bridge. Since then numbers have continued to rise.
This is crazy. Have you seen any wildlife that you normally wouldn't see out and about?
