2/15: Coyote hops public transportation

Real Men Don't Kill Coyotes! In Portland, OR, this little guy ran onto a light rail car at the airport and found a seat. Unfortunately, lacking pockets and/or opposable thumbs, he could not pay the fare. He was lassoed by a wildlife official, and was eventually released into a field nearby, where he reportedly bounded away running after field mice.

Its true! Portland IS a model for user-friendly public transportation. It serves the full community.

If he is keeping the field mice population under control, he should get a free ride, IMHO.

Thanks to SD - this lil guy gets to be seen again. Kind of amazing that he would actually run onto a rail car.

This thread must have been in the days before recipes.

He does look young and tender - hmmm.

lol! He's cute. That reminds me of this animal stealing from the grocery.

If he can buy a Starbucks he should have paid the fare.

Not one coyote ugly joke?

He's lying on that seat in the same pose as pilau on my sofa when he's upset.

Interesting that this is from Portland. I don't typically think of coyotes as forest dwellars, even forest dwellars forced to become urbanites.
