California wildlife officials said they are testing the remains of three coyotes to determine if one of them bit a child in San Francisco last week.
Coyotes are a common sight at Golden Gate Park, but on Friday a wildlife encounter took a frightening turn when a 5-year-old girl was bitten by one at the San Francisco Botanical Garden."It's pretty rare for this to happen, but it does unfortunately happen on occasion," said Patrick Foy with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife .Officials said the girl is recovering.The CDFW shot and killed three coyotes in the botanical garden over the weekend.
The botanical garden was later reopened, though families there on Monday said they were alarmed at what happened."We were a little worried. We saw some signs warning us about coyotes, but we figured we'd just keep our eyes open and stay away if we see them," said visitor Jesse Gage.Wildlife officials strongly suggest that people don't interact with coyotes."That involves shouting aggressively at it.
