Coyote Bites Colorado Toddler

Boy, 2, suffers minor injuries in coyote attack in Broomfield's Anthem area - Broomfield Enterprise:

"The 21/2-year-old boy, who was not seriously hurt, was walking with his father and 9-month-old sister around 8 p.m. Monday in the Anthem neighborhood in northern Broomfield when the attack happened. The boy's father, who asked not to be identified to protect his family, said a small coyote emerged from tall grass adjacent to the trail and bit the boy on his back and buttocks.

'As soon as I saw (the coyote) I started yelling and stuff,' he said. 'He still had time to knock my son over and bite him in the lower back area. (The coyote) then ran about 20 or 25 yards up the trail before turning around and looking at me before running off.'"
