Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers say they have trapped and killed the coyote that attacked a 4-year-old girl near Colorado Springs on Thanksgiving. The girl and another child spotted the animal hiding behind a tree and mistook it for a dog. When approached by the children, the coyote bit the girl in the back of the head, inflicting serious injuries that required her to undergo multiple surgeries. Parks officers initially said in a statement that it would be “impossible to identify the exact coyote” and announced plans to trap and kill all coyotes found around the neighborhood near the Air Force Academy where the attack took place. On Thursday, they reported that one of the coyotes killed had human DNA on its paws and human food in its stomach, leading the agency to conclude that it was the animal responsible for the attack.
