The victim sustained two puncture wounds on each calf and was subsequently transported to Mission Hospital for treatment. He was released that same day, said Jim Beres, whose department oversees animal control in Laguna Beach.The resident was alone, and no other people or pets were present. The severity of the unprovoked attack called for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to respond, Beres said.
“Like most communities located in semirural areas, Laguna Beach has active coyote populations. Due to the brushy canyon areas and natural ‘den’ type rock formations, our hillsides provide an attractive environment for coyotes and other animals,” a news release said. “However, coyotes do not require open space to survive, and have successfully adapted to living in close proximity to humans.”
Foy said coyote attacks are rare, but officials have responded to other reports in recent months, including ain Lake Forest and, more recently, another coyote attack in Alameda County on April 1. Beres said the suspect female coyote may still be out in the neighborhood and Laguna Beach Animal Services personnel were continuing to monitor the area.
