A coyote roams past a house in Alterra Park in Chino Hills, Calif. on Thursday. Last week, a nanny pulled a 2-year-old girl from the jaws of a coyote in this San Bernardino County community about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Coyotes normally avoid contact with humans and hunt rabbits and rodents. But scientists said some that live near suburban developments are becoming bolder, raiding garbage or even attacking pets and humans. Damian Dovarganes / Associated Press
