DALLAS — A 2-year-old child has been hospitalized in critical condition after being mauled by a coyote Tuesday on the front porch of the child's Dallas home, police said.
It was unknown if the officer wounded the animal, but an active search with a game warden began, police said. Police were warning neighborhood residents that the coyote should be considered extremely dangerous. The lack of fear of humans can be disastrous for the coyote, said Robert M. Timm, a retired wildlife biologist with the University of California's Hopland Research & Extension Center who has long studied the history of human contact with coyotes.
