We all stumble into the bathroom bleary-eyed and half asleep from time to time.  It usually goes ok and without incident.  Imagine noticing what appears to be an ear behind the toilet.  You do a double take and realize you are not alone in the bathroom.  Early Friday morning an Ohio family began packing their cars for a vacation.  That's when a coyote slipped into the home unnoticed.  The animal wandered into a first floor bathroom and hid behind the toilet, still unnoticed.  Family members even used the bathroom without realizing they had company.  They finally noticed and called police for help.

The family was not sure exactly what kind of animal it was and feared getting too close.  Officers found the adult coyote camouflaged near the tan tiles and beige walls.  Police safely removed the animal and released him unharmed.  Always take note of your surroundings...even in the privacy of your own bathroom!
