A rare wildlife encounter was caught on camera in Snoqualmie.
The Washington State Department of Transportation posted a video on X last week of a mouse “booping” a coyote. The mouse appears to be teasing the coyote, possibly biting it, as it hunts for dinner.
Would you “boop” a coyote? This rodent did and got away with it. However you are spending #NationalWildlifeWeek, we hope you are celebrating small victories too. pic.twitter.com/amb05hDlAo

Fortunately for the mouse, it was able to get away.
WSDOT said the video is a reminder to celebrate the small victories.
Last month, The Seattle Times reported there was a string of coyote attacks in Bellevue. One coyote was killed as a result.
