A bloodthirsty coyote that attacked on a four-year-old girl in an idyllic suburban neighborhood has put a spotlight on the growing number of Americans targeted by wild predators.
Wild animal attacks are increasing in America due to factors like human encroachment on wildlife habitats, more people venturing into remote areas, and climate change. A recent coyote attack on a four-year-old girl in a Seattle suburb highlights the issue, with bears, cougars, snakes, and alligators also posing significant threats. While predatory attacks are a minority, provoked encounters are common, and experts advise caution and preparedness when in wild animal habitats.
