Conservation officers have nabbed a coyote in Stanley Park they believe may be the culprit of some recent aggressive behavior toward humans.
The Vancouver Park Board tweeted last night that the critter captured on Monday morning matches descriptions of a coyote that had been nipping joggers near Brockton Oval, including two cases over the weekend.
It’s not known positively if the captured coyote is the one responsible for all five reports of attacks in the area since Dec. 20.
