Officials say another two coyotes have been killed in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, including one believed to be involved in the mauling death of a young woman.
Chip Bird of Parks Canada says the two adult males were shot by park officers yesterday.
He says they believe one of them was involved in the mauling, partly because it was exhibiting territorial behaviour in the area the woman was attacked.
A 19-year-old folksinger from Toronto, Taylor Mitchell, died late last month after she was attacked on a hiking trail.
