A coyote was removed from a
Cane Bay Elementary School restroom in South Carolina. Police and faculty were able to safely remove the wild animal before it or anyone was injured.
Police say that the coyote made its way into the restroom and was ultimately turned over to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, unharmed.
Just a few days ago we shared a story reminding you that mating season is approaching for coyotes and they tend to become more aggressive during this time of the year.
So, if you encounter one of these aggressive animals, please get away from it and never try to capture it yourself.
