Texas wildlife officials say they are focused on the behavior of the animals when they are around people, not the number of coyotes.
DALLAS — Three coyotes have been killed in the search for the animal that put a 2-year-old boy in the hospital earlier this week.
Henry told The Dallas Morning News that authorities are also looking for physical characteristics that fit the description of the coyote that attacked the toddler on the porch on Royalpine Drive, but added they may “never possibly know” if the animal is the same one. The physical markings on the coyote that was killed overnight closely resembled descriptions provided to wildlife authorities. The coyote that attacked the boy has been reported to be missing a patch of fur on its back and the tip of its tail is white.
Henry said the number of coyotes near the area is not problematic. Instead, he and other wildlife officials who are trying to address the problem are focused on the behavior of the animals when they are around people.Multiple residents from the neighborhood have said they were upset with the city’s delayed response to coyote activity in the area.
