Wild coyote yanked from refrigerated section of Aldi supermarket in Chicago, shocking video shows

The Aldi coyote gave the Wile E.Coyote a run for his money Monday morning.

Shoppers inside a Chicago supermarket had a reason to howl when a coyote was yanked out of the refrigerated section by a pair of officers – with the hair-raising moment caught on video.The Aldi grocery store in the Windy City’s Humboldt Park neighborhood was akin to something out of a cartoon Monday as authorities used broomsticks to poke around shelves, according to the viral clip posted on social media.An officer eventually grabbed what appeared to be a furry tail poking out of the shelves and furiously pulled before the wild animal shockingly emerged and landed on the market floor.The gray coyote quickly scurried back between cold products but was later taken into custody by animal control around 10 a.m., according to reports.“The animal is currently at our facility awaiting transfer to our wildlife rehabilitation partner, Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation,” Chicago Animal Control and Care told NBC Chicago.“The coyote appears uninjured, but Flint Creek will conduct an assessment to confirm its health before releasing it back into the wild if deemed appropriate.”A witness told ABC 7 Chicago the animal was wandering around the store parking lot before it snuck inside.“It picked an odd location.They do this sometimes.

They make a mistake.They’re trying to avoid us.

They’re trying to hide from us,” Stan Gehrt with the Cook County Coyote Project explained to the station.“Probably trying to find a new area to hide ended up inside the store, and this has happened in the past.”...
