A trail camera, usually reserved for catching majestic deer or perhaps a very confused hiker, recently captured something far more relatable. Deep in San Diego's Mission Trails Regional Park, a coyote decided to grace the internet with its most intimate, and frankly, hilarious, moment.
It was scooting. Not elegantly prancing, not stalking prey, but full-on, rear-end-on-the-ground scooting. Because apparently, even wild canines have an itch they just have to scratch, public opinion be damned.
The park's official social media shared the clip, practically daring the internet to come up with captions. And oh, did the internet deliver. Comments ranged from the pun-tastic to the outright absurd.

Perhaps the most profound observation came from a follower who imagined the coyote's inner monologue: "This is what I think of you filming me without my consent." Which, if you think about it, is both a perfect caption and a solid life philosophy for anyone caught on camera doing something slightly embarrassing. It's a wild world out there, folks, and sometimes you just gotta scoot.
