Derek Quann, the park’s resource conservation manager, said he doesn’t know whether it was one of the ones involved in the attack. He said there were no signs on the animal’s body that it had been shot. Quann said he believes there are five or six coyotes in the area. Park staff was still trying to track down the other coyote involved in the attack Wednesday.
