Jan. 14 (UPI) -- A confused coyote was removed from a grocery store's refrigerated shelf Monday morning.
The incident occurred at a Chicago-area Aldi store, where the animal apparently sought refuge in the store's produce aisle.
"It picked an odd location. They do this sometimes. They make a mistake," Cook County Coyote Project's Stan Gehrt told ABC7 Chicago. "They're trying to avoid us. They're trying to hide from us."
He added that the animals that typically find themselves in this situation are the ones that haven't yet settled down with a mate.
The coyote was removed from the store without injury.
A video posted to social media shows a police officer using the back end of a broom to prod the coyote before pulling it out by the tail.
The post accumulated nearly 8 million views and over 1,000 comments.
“Mistakes were made”
“What did the coyote know, and when did he know it?”
Looking for the Road Runner section in the meat department.
Wonder if the refrigerated display shelf was made by Acme?
He was holding an ACME hand-held GPS device when he was found in the grocery store.
Bump for later reference, and this thread needs more pics.
No regrets coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance

“Some people did something. “
“animals that typically find themselves in this situation are the ones that haven’t yet settled down with a mate.”
Teens, it’s always teens.
The coyote is really fresh at Aldi’s today...............
Did any Haitians show up with their EBT cards?
Simone from produce to register 6 for a price check. Also, some Band-Aids.
I’m just glad to see Aldi moved on from Horse meat.
Coyote misread “Aldi” for “Acme”...
I hope they put a bullet in it’s head and through it in the dumpster.
So “he got himself in the wrong place”?
beep beep...
The last few days the comic strip "Pickles" has focused on whether chickens are meat.
I’m with you there! Coyotes in your area are not a good sign.
