Zoomed in view of the coyote attack of a little girl near the Huntington Beach pier from a surf cam. Coyote has the toddler on the ground for almost 15 seconds before scurrying away when an adult notices. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/hoIto71wMo

One of the coyotes shot and killed in the vicinity of the attack Thursday night is a match to the DNA sample collected off the little girl’s arm. Department of Fish & Wildlife says it’ll be a few more days before they get the rabies results back from the lab. @FOXLA

The videos above speak for themselves, but here’s more from Fox LA:
A mother and her two children were out on the beach and dipping their toes in the ocean just north of the pier when the coyote suddenly appeared and attacked the little girl around 9:45 p.m. She is said to be about two or three years old.
She was taken by ambulance to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
Meanwhile, Orange County Animal Services and officers with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife searched for the coyote who was spotted running on the beach near the water.
