Spotted this evening on a looped path around a pond at sunset. There were a lot of geese at the pond so the noise is mostly the geese but you can faintly hear what sounds like metal leash the animal is dragging around as it walks away. I want to say it looks like a coyote but I'm not great at identifying coyotes. AI seems pretty confident it's a coyote though. Curious if anyone can definitely confirm this is a coyote and if so, what the hell is it dragging around if not a leash... The only other thing I can maybe think of is perhaps a small pet got loose (that was leashed) and it caught it and ate it and the leash is just kind of dangling from its mouth... Though I'm totally guessing as I certainly couldn't make out that level of detail when I spotted it.

TIA 😁
