Crazed Vicious Animal Trifecta!



First the Killer Grizzly Bear, then the Man-eating Great White Shark, and today...I get this email from one of our editors:


"Ok it’s not a dingo but here’s the deal:

According to KCAL, a 14 month year old girl was playing at Alterra park in the City of Chino Hills when the nanny turned around and saw what she calls a coyote attacking the child.

They don’t have any other information at this time except to say there doesn’t seem to be much of a scene except an empty playground.

We’ll continue to monitor-"

UPDATE: I'm not f-ing around here, people. Here's the official press release from the police.


"SUMMARY:
On Friday, May 2, 2008, at approximately 10:30 a.m., a two-year old female toddler was playing in the sandbox at Altura Park in the City of Chino Hills. She was in the care of her babysitter. The babysitter suddenly heard her cry, looked up, and saw a lone coyote had bitten the toddler on the buttocks and was attempting to carry her away in its mouth. The babysitter grabbed the child and pulled it away from the coyote’s grasp. After the toddler was freed, the coyote ran off into the nearby brush. Chino Hills Deputies, along with San Bernardino County Animal Control conducted an area check for the coyote however they were unable to locate the animal. California State Fish and Game responded to the scene in an attempt to capture the animal.

The toddler sustained two small puncture wounds to the right buttocks area. She was transported to a local area hospital by paramedics for medical evaluation and treatment."
