Nov. 26 (UPI) — A coyote that appeared to be stranded on a ledge outside a Florida hotel drew a crowd of onlookers, including police, before eventually finding its own way down.
The coyote was spotted about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Denison Parking garage, adjacent to the Luminary Hotel in downtown Fort Myers.
A witness attempted to chase the coyote away from the scene, but the canine instead fled to a second-story ledge outside the building.
Fort Myers police, firefighters and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission personnel responded to the scene, but the coyote eventually hopped over a barrier on its own and returned to the interior of the garage.
FWC personnel monitored the coyote as it left the area and it was last seen heading into the nearby woods.
“When you say your hotel has great views… and a coyote takes it literally,” the hotel joked on social media. “Don’t worry, we offered an early check-in and some Bonvoy points to get him off the ledge.”
