Whoops. I got wolves and coyotes mixed up (in the original post). Me and my midnight blunders.
Who: A 19-year-old woman
Where: Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Canada
Her mistake: Just bad luck
What happened: A woman was hiking with a group on the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Some time during the hike, the woman was attacked and mauled by two coyotes. Authorities said she suffered bites all over her body.
A 911 call was made at 3:15 p.m. and Mounties responded. The woman was airlifted to a local hospital where she was in critical condition, then later died.
Mounties continued to search for the wolves and found them. One of the coyotes was shot and injured. The other ran off into the woods. A local naturist said there hasn’t been any suspicious wolf activity in the area and this event is “extremely rare in the park.”
