A security camera recently captured the hair-raising moment a coyote stealthily followed a doctor into his office in South Carolina.

The doctor -- Steven Poletti, an orthopedic surgeon -- said the harrowing incident happened early in the morning on Feb. 15 while he was walking into work at the Southeastern Spine Institute in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

Poletti had no idea a coyote was behind him until they were both inside the building, he told ABC News today.

Scary stuff. I wonder how long before CNN somehow connects this incident to Trump.

It had to be done.

Must need some nitrous oxide for a great new roadrunner trap.

Thank goodness that squirrel was there to yell “Squirrel!!”.

Does not look like any western coyote, far too light colored.

Might have just been a hungry stray, doesn't he carry and doggy treats with him?

Was the name of the hospital ACME?

For 100,000 years we’ve been killing predators that approach us. Predators evolved to avoid us. Now they are reverting because we don’t kill the ones that are around us, and we do kill the ones that avoid us (hunters spend big $$ on tech to track and bait the shy ones). We’re back on the menu.

Yeah. He thought the squirrel scared the coyote away but really...

Looks like somebody’s pet to me.

That is a dog. A skinny hungry dog.

Looks and acts like a dog.

There’s nothing skittish or stealthy about it’s behavior.

Looks like a German Shepherd mix.

It’s only a miracle so many with ZERO situational awareness survive to adulthood.
Compare the reactions of shoppers in a nice ‘downtown’ to those walking ‘in the hood’ when you drive by: the ‘hoodies’ check you out 50 mts before you’re near them- the shoppers never even notice.

if it was a coyote, could have been in beginning stages of rabies- also could have been a coyote dog hybrid- coydog- soem claim they don’t exist- others claim they do- dunno what the reality is=- but it certainly didn’t look like a full coyote

Cyotes dog mix -— not uncommon here!

Around where I live, DNR doesn’t want to admit the coyote problem because then they’d have to deal with it.

Until they do, “We don’t see no stinkin’ coyote, man!”
