The mysterious unidentified animal that experts believe could be a coyote or dog escaped from the wild life rescue and rehabilitation facility where it was being this week.

Wildlife Works Inc. confirmed the animal left its cage destroyed and trashed the hospital area of the facility before escaping in a post shared on its Facebook account Thursday (January 27).

The Pennsylvania facility said the animal hadn't previously shown signs of aggression and noted that a window seal was discovered to have been chewed prior to its escape.

"We don't know how to tell you this, but the "coyote" escaped last night. We are devastated, and we know you all will be devastated too. No one feels worse than Morgan," Wildlife Works Inc. wrote in the Facebook post.

"When she got up this AM and went to her hospital building, she was met with the horrifying site of a destroyed empty cage and a trashed hospital area (see photos). There were scratches on the walls, especially below the window; the window seal was chewed until he was able to force the window open, then he tore through the screen. Not in our wildest dreams did we expect something like this!"
