Vicious coyote sunk its teeth into baby's cheek

The Province; Canadian PressA coyote attack on a Vancouver infant has revived the call for a large-scale coyote kill.
The little 14-month-old girl was attacked in the front yard of her home in the 2900-block of West 22nd Avenue, while her mother was gardening just metres away.
Her mom — who was picking weeds when the coyote quietly wandered up to the baby — scared the beast away with a kick.
The baby suffered two puncture wounds to her neck and a large cut on her cheek that needed 10 stitches to close.
"The coyote actually had attached and bitten the child in the face area, and was holding on to the child," said Vancouver police spokesman Det. Scott Driemel. "The coyote sunk its teeth into the face and the cheek, and was shaking its head back and forth with the baby's head in its mouth."
The baby was in good condition in hospital yesterday after the attack Monday at about 8 p.m.
