Yes, that's a coyote and, yes, it's wandering near some people in the streets of Cleveland. Instagram user Darnell R. Ford (instagram.com/djrobford) posted these two videos of the four-legged predator around the East 36 Street and Payne Ave intersection.
The Instagram user follows the coyote from a car, expressing confusion about seeing the coyote within the city and surprise that a group of people standing outside a building aren't freaked out as it approaches. Take a look here:
Video one caption: "Coyote Downtown Cleveland pt 1... where the F did it come from!?!? #coyote #cleveland #downtown #wildanimals #lost"
Video two caption: "White people are fearless. Coyote Downtown pt 2... #coyote #wildanimals #cleveland #crazy"
