Coyote Riding Portland, Oregon Light Rail



Picture from the Seattle Transit blog.

Back story: This picture is from Portland, OR and was taken in 2002 when a wild coyote was chased off the tarmac at Portland International Airport. The coyote then proceeded to the Tri-Met Airport Terminal Station, where it boarded a light-rail MAX Red Line transit train bound for downtown. Port of Portland Airfield Operations and Wildlife staff were able to peacefully capture the animal and escort it to a more appropriate habitat.

Tri-met also had a goat get on one of their buses a while back. I suppose as mass transit becomes more common these things will happen more often.
