BELLEVUE, Ky. (WLWT) — The Bellevue Police Department spotted a coyote that was napping on the frozen Ohio River on Sunday.
“Warning for any boaters or ice fishers out there,” wrote the department on Facebook on Sunday afternoon. “Sgt. Bonar spotted a coyote napping on the ice. If you have small pets on your boat, or in your ice fishing shack; be sure to keep an eye on them.”
The coyote could be seen resting near the riverbank on the Kentucky side of the river, with the Cincinnati skyline visible in the background. In one image, the coyote later appeared to be walking back toward land.
It was not immediately clear what drew the coyote to the unusual napping spot, or how long it may have stayed there.
