"During live coverage of the feline's capture, the ABC7 News reporter Frances Wang was on camera when an unexpected urban resident passed behind her. A coyote calmly walked through the shot, unnoticed as she continued reporting. Video of the moment quickly gained attention for the visual irony of one wild predator being removed as another freely roamed the city streets."
"Your eyes do not deceive you. That's a coyote strolling on by during ABC7's Frances Wang live shot, the station posted on X. Ironically, she was reporting on the capture of a 2-year-old mountain lion who was seen roaming around San Francisco streets. Wang herself commented about the encounter on social media, writing: This is why I love live TV. You just never know what you'll get sometimes!"
"The mountain lion a two-year-old, 77-pound male was first seen late on Monday, with additional sightings reported early Tuesday around Lafayette Park. San Francisco animal care and control officers eventually located the animal wedged between buildings on California Street between Laguna and Octavia. Authorities closed nearby streets as officials used several tranquilizer darts to sedate and secure the cougar. It will be released back into the wild, officials said."
A young, two-year-old, 77-pound male mountain lion was first seen late Monday with additional sightings Tuesday around Lafayette Park. San Francisco animal care and control officers located the animal wedged between buildings on California Street between Laguna and Octavia, closed nearby streets, and used several tranquilizer darts to sedate and secure the cougar. Officials plan to release the animal back into the wild. During live ABC7 coverage of the capture, reporter Frances Wang was on camera when a coyote calmly walked through the shot. Wildlife experts say dispersing juveniles often search for new territory, explaining the mountain lion's presence; coyotes remain common in city parks.
