Pahrump Officials Warn Of Coyote Attacks

Officials in Pahrump are warning residents about ..coyotes.

The Pahrump Valley Times reports that coyotes are in the area and may pose a threat both to people and to pets.

The newspaper reports one incident last week where a man walking his dog was confronted and attacked by three coyotes. The man in question is expected to recover fully.

Town officials say if one encounters a coyote to call Nye County Animal Control, and to not feed the animals.
