A coyote found itself in an embarrassing position, and this time it wasn’t the Road Runner’s fault.
Georgie Knox was driving to work two weeks ago when a coyote darted out into the middle of the road and she hit it.
‘I heard a crunch and believed I ran over and killed it,’ Knox wrote on Facebook last week.

But when she arrived for work in Calgary, a road worker pointed out that the coyote was in fact embedded in her front grille

The animal suffered only minor injuries and was able to be immediately returned to the wild. Knox pictured above
Thinking the coyote was road kill, Knox continued on her 20 mile drive to work in Calgary, from her home in Airdire, Canada.
But when she arrived in Calgary, a construction worker pointed out that the coyote was very much still alive – and stuck in her front grille like a figurehead on a ship.
‘When I got out to look, this poor little guy was looking up and blinking at me,’ Knox wrote.
So she called Alberta Fish and Wildlife for help, and they sent workers out to trap the wild dog.
Amazingly, the coyote only suffered minor injuries in the accident ‘despite having hitched a ride from Airdrie to Calgary at highway speeds!’ Knox wrote.
They were able to immediately release the coyote back into the wild near Kananaskis.
‘Clearly mother nature has other plans for this special little guy!’ Knox wrote.
