Wild wolf found in downtown, 2-year-old girl bitten Last Friday night, a 2-year-old girl was bitten by a wild wolf at the Cave Creek Recreation Area at the junction of 23rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road. According to witnesses, a wolf quickly ran out of the playground and bit the little girl from the back. "Girls seemed to be the only targets of the wolves," Horn said. "It's very scary." The girl was having a barbecue with her family and friends at the time, and the wolf may have come smelling the scent of meat. People screamed in panic and threw things at it. Although the wild wolf put the girl down, it did not leave. Later, police officers and the Department of Fish and Game arrived and subdued him. The girl was sent to the hospital for rabies injections. Arizona Department of Fish and Game staff said afterwards that it was unusual for wild animals to appear and attack humans in a busy city. "It's not a matter of whether the wolf was starving and had lost its brain." The Department of Fish and Game captured six wild wolves in the area that night and injected them to death. The wolf carcasses were sent to be tested for rabies. The test may take a week. Neighboring residents said that the scene of the incident was originally a suburban wasteland, but has been developed into a residential area in recent years. It is not surprising for wild wolves to appear here.
