Authorities are using drones to search and urge people to avoid wildlife and seek medical help for any bites, while coordinating with state officials—no new attacks reported yet. ]]> Fri 04 Sep 2026 14:14:27 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619367/aggressive-mystery-animal-attacks-three-in-new-hampshire-town/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619270/swimmer-mauled-in-vicious-attack-by-river-otter/
