An unusually aggressive coyote that attacked five people in the Lafayette-Moraga area of Contra Costa County over the past eight months was caught and euthanized Thursday, state fish and wildlife officials said.
DNA testing on the coyote matched that found on bite victims, according to a news release from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
While there is no evidence the animal was rabid, UC Davis veterinary staff will be conducting rabies tests on the carcass as a precaution. It is the most aggressive behavior on the part of a coyote I ve seen in my 24 years, said Capt. Patrick Foy of the state wildlife agency. I ve near heard of a coyote attacking and biting five people.
