The new arrival, a coyote nicknamed “Wile E.” after the Warner Bros. Road Runner cartoon, made an appearance at Mission Middle School in Jurupa Valley, Riverside County Animal Services said in a news release.
School staffers told Luna that the coyote was seen multiple times before, but never inside the school.
“There are dedicated wildlife corridors and other open spaces, such as green belts, and these are areas where animals live,” Gettis said in the news release. “Due to population adjacent to these natural, open spaces, we are going to have encounters.”Most adult coyotes weigh between 22 and 25 pounds, and males are normally larger.
They aren't threatened or endangered in California and are considered non-game mammals by the Department of Fish and Game, the Forest Service said.
