Scottsdale, Arizona (KNXV) — The Arizona Game and Fish Department is looking for a coyote believed to have attacked two toddlers in Scottsdale this week.

Officials said the first incident occurred on Saturday at Aztec Park near 100th Street and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. On Wednesday, another infant was attacked at a home about two miles south of the first incident. Both infants were treated for minor injuries.

Coyotes have only been described as large and healthy.

Authorities believe the coyotes may have been illegally fed in the past, so they show little fear of people.

If you see a coyote on 94th Street and Thompson Peak Parkway, please call 623-236-7201 as soon as possible. The line is open 24/7.

The agency is urging parents to keep children close and vigilant when outdoors until the coyotes are spotted.

As of Saturday afternoon, the Scottsdale Police Department continues its search for the culprit, the coyote.
