'We watched the coyote dig for about 10 minutes,' Haley told KRON4. 'It would stop and look scared anytime a car drove by, but then would start digging again.'
KRON4 reached out to local wildlife experts to ask why a coyote might dig in a cemetery, and is awaiting a response. KRON4 also reached out to the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery but has not immediately heard back.

Turtle rehab program shut down at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton
Dozens of rescued sea turtles in need of new home after nonprofit pulls out Dozens of rescued sea turtles in need of new home after nonprofit pulls out Dozens of rescued sea turtles in need of new home after nonprofit pulls out There's change ahead for the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. The 20 acre oceanside fixture which offers visitors a raised boardwalk, tower, aquariums and the Florida Atlantic University Marine Research Center will no longer have a turtle rehabilitation facility. The nonprofit The Coastal Stewards, which has operated the turtle rehabilitation program for decades, announced it was shut down last Friday because of financial trouble. The gift shop was also closed. The move does not affect any other part of Gumbo Limbo, manager Leanne Welch said. The nature center received more than 200,000 visitors a year, most from South Florida. There are 13 injured turtles being treated at the rehabilitation facility and Welch said treatment will continue. There is no timeline when the injured turtles may be moved. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will decide where they are sent. Some may be transferred to Zoo Miami. The manager of Zoo Miami's turtle program said they have two tanks currently occupied but they have worked with Gumbo Limbo before. Other possible locations for transfer are in Juno beach and Marathon.
