Colorado Officials Hunt Coyote After Child Attack
A coyote attacked a four-year-old girl in northern Colorado Springs, causing serious injuries requiring hospitalization, after the child mistook it for a dog. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is actively searching for and plans to euthanize any coyotes in the area to ensure the attacking animal is removed. The incident highlights the dangers of coyotes adapting to urban environments and the importance of preventing human-wildlife interaction by avoiding the feeding of wild animals. CPW urges residents to remain vigilant and deter any approaching wildlife. The search for the coyote is expected to last several days.
