Officials in Southern California continue to be concerned about coyote attacks in the Inland Empire. On Friday, wildlife officials said two more children in Lake Arrowhead may have been bitten and a woman in Temecula reported having to drive a stubborn coyote out of her house. Times staff writer David Kelly has an update on the coyote attacks in today’s paper.
‘They are behaving abnormally,’ said Steven Martarano, a spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Game. ‘They have lost their fear of people for whatever reason.’ Two children have been attacked in the last week and a third was stalked by a coyote that was scared off before it could pounce.
