A young coyote was found Monday morning in a middle school bathroom in Riverside after he wandered in.
Welsh said the coyote was transported to rural open space and freed, quickly scurrying out of sight.
"We are pleased that this incident was smooth and all the children were OK, and we were able to get the coyote back to its more natural habitat,'' Department of Animal Services Director Erin Gettis said."There are dedicated wildlife corridors and other open spaces, such as green belts, and these are areas where animals live. Due to population adjacent to these natural spaces, we are going to have encounters.
School officials said the coyote had been seen on previous occasions skirting the campus, but never venturing inside. It was unknown whether the animal was seeking rubbish to eat, or what else might have drawn him onto the property.
