Officers are searching the area to find and kill any remaining coyotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident happened late on Thursday afternoon in a neighborhood east of Monument Creek and Interstate 25, not far from the Air Force Academy, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/cpw.state.co.us\/news\/11302024\/cpw-pursues-coyote-after-child-attacked-urges-people-protect-children-pets-wildlife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> released on Saturday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witnesses said the 4-year-old girl was attacked when she and another child approached a coyote crouching behind a tree in their yard, thinking it was a dog. The animal then lunged at the girl, grabbing the back of her head and causing serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This could have been much worse \u2013 a tragedy \u2013 if not for the quick action of the child\u2019s father to stop the attack, rescue his daughter and scare the coyote off,&#8221; Tim Kroening, the area&#8217;s wildlife manager, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The girl was taken to hospital and released on Friday, after which authorities were notified about the incident. CPW officers and partner agencies have since launched a search for any coyotes in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Because it would be impossible to identify the exact coyote, CPW and its partners will lethally remove any coyote it can find in the vicinity of the attack,&#8221; the agency said. &#8220;The carcasses will be sent to a health lab to be examined for human DNA and tested for diseases, like rabies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation is expected to continue for several days, Kroening said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 4-year-old girl is recovering from serious injuries after she was attacked by a coyote near her home in Colorado Springs, according to state officials.
