• A coyote "made a mistake" and ended up in the refrigerated case of the produce section at an Aldi store in Chicago, WLS-TV reports.
It was sequestered behind a selection of fine cheeses after roaming around the parking lot just minutes earlier.
"It picked an odd location," said Stan Gehrt with the Cook County Coyote Project. "They do this sometimes. They're trying to hide from us."
Gehrt said many of the animals who end up in a sketchy situation are those who haven't found a mate yet.
The coyote will be evaluated by the Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation group, which will determine whether it can be released back into the wild.
