Coyote caught digging hole near grave in California cemetery in wild video: ‘Maybe he's hungry'
Coyote dug-ly. An unsentimental coyote was spotted digging a hole near a grave at a San Francisco-area cemetery on Mother's Day, wild video showed. The apparent hellhound dug roughly 1 foot into the earth beside a headstone, which was captured by Erin Haley, who was visiting her mother's grave at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, just outside San Francisco in Daly City, KRON-TV reported. 'Seems like a weird place to dig,' Haley remarked in the video. 3 Cemetery officials said the coyote was likely hunting for gophers. Erin Haley 3 At one point, the wily coyote looked right at Haley as she was filming. Erin Haley 'Maybe he's hungry,' one of her children said from the backseat. Haley said that in 24 years of visiting the cemetery, she had never once seen such a sight, SFGate reported. 3 The strange sight was spotted at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Daly City, just outside San Francisco. Google maps The Archdiocese of San Francisco said that the wily coyote was likely not searching for corpses, but instead hunting gophers, who are known to burrow in the hills of Holy Cross Cemetery, according to the outlet. 'We realize how disturbing this looks, but we want to reassure people that the State code governing depth of burials helps protect their loved ones, as do the concrete burial vaults that are used to protect the caskets,' Peter Marlow, communications director for the archdiocese, told SFGate. Cemetery maintenance crews have a process for removing the rodential borrowers, which they believe will ward off any further coyote excavations, the archdiocese told the outlet. Wild coyotes have recently been spotted bopping around the Big Apple — with two sightings in Central Park this past January, including one that caught the hound on tape. Manhattan-based sightings of the furry scavengers have drastically increased since 2019.
