Horrifying moment caught on camera: Toddler attacked by coyote in Scottsdale, Arizona
The 2-year-old girl was playing in her front yard when the wild animal ran up and bit her leg, dragging her for a few feet
Her father, who was nearby, rushed to her rescue and scared off the coyote with a golf club
The girl suffered minor injuries and had to get multiple rabies shots as a precaution
This was the second attack by a coyote on a toddler in Scottsdale, Arizona in the same day
A 21-month-old boy was also bitten on the arm by a coyote in his driveway, just a few miles away from the girl’s home
The boy’s mother said the coyote was bold and fearless and did not run away even after she screamed and threw rocks at it
Arizona officials were searching for the large coyote that is responsible for both attacks, and warn residents to be vigilant and keep their children and pets indoors
Coyote attacks on humans are rare but increasing in the state, especially in urban areas where they find food and shelter
Experts advise people to avoid feeding or approaching coyotes, and to make loud noises or use pepper spray if they encounter one
