Warning Issued: Avoid Mange-Infested Coyote 'Itchy Gru' in Spring Lake

Residents of Spring Lake, Michigan, have been tracking a mange-infested coyote named 'Itchy Gru,' prompting wildlife experts to advise against approaching the animal. Mange is a common issue among wild animals, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) typically allows nature to take its course unless the animal is severely suffering. Pet owners are advised to keep their pets away from the coyote to prevent the spread of mange. Local resident Faith Lyons plans to treat the coyote with medicine to help it recover.
