PORTLAND, OR — Authorities reported on Wednesday that a wild coyote was chased off the tarmac at Portland International Airport. The traveling prairie pooch, realizing that it wasn’t welcome to fly the friendly skies, proceeded to the Tri-Met Airport Terminal Station where it boarded the light-rail train bound for downtown.
At 11:30am, Port of Portland Airfield Operations and Wildlife staff were able to peacefully capture the animal and escort it to a more appropriate habitat.
