Wolf Attacks Increase in Uttar Pradesh: Toddler Dragged Away
In Bahraich, India, wolves are attacking people.
Recently, a wolf grabbed a three-year-old boy from near his home.
This is not the first time this has happened; there have been other attacks since June.
Officials are looking for the child and trying to catch the wolves by setting up traps and cameras.
Experts believe the wolves are coming out of the forest because it is wet and they cannot dig their homes.
The attacks have happened near a protected forest area where wolves attacked people last year.

This is the fourth wolf attack in the area since June.
