Quiznos Coyote Gets Happy Home in Wild

Looks like the coyote that made its home in a Chicago-area Quiznos drink cooler during lunch hour will be set free again. Animal control is moving "Adrian" to the Flint Wildlife Rehab Center, where he'll get to hang out with others of his ilk before being re-released into the wild.

Of course, it's a bit odd that a coyote would seek refuge in a Quiznos sandwich, but that's what Adrian did, strolling east on Adams in the post-lunch crowd. He walked in the front door that had been propped open because of the warm weather. He settled into the beverage cooler after unsuccessfully trying to vault the counter.

"It did not growl. It did not make any sounds. It just tried to get in. Apparently it was scared and tried to shelter itself," said Ray Zavalas, Quiznos employee.

For 40 minutes, he sat there quite passive -- next to the Gatorade -- a sort of odd celebrity, as dozens of passersby came to see the coyote who came to dinner and take pictures with their cell phones. Imagine what Mr. Coyote thought about all this attention.
