Jorge ran across these coyote pups in Belle Isle Marsh in East Boston today.

Jim Walker photographs a coyote getting ready for a DHL drop off in Newton this morning.

Coyote spotted down by Powder House Park.

The Somerville News reports:

The prairie wolf eluded police and animal control officers as he ran through the Max Pak site, Highland Road and Boston Avenue.

Despite ruthless media onslaught.

Jef Taylor, the Urban Pantheist, considers the case of the North End coyote:

... They are going to release it "to the wild" whatever that means. A Coyote found that far into Boston didn't wander there from the Worcester Hills. This guy was a local, and as far as he was concerned, he was in the wild. Nonetheless, the belief that the city is NOT wildlife habitat must be protected at costs, no matter that the wildlife continues to view it as such. He'll be let go someplace woodsy, wondering just what happened. ...

Taken alive on North Washington Street near the Charlestown bridge yesterday.

The fresh snow provided plenty of evidence of plenty of coyotes in Belle Isle Marsh, Jorge reports.

Slavering, blood-fanged coyote beast at Mt. Auburn Cemetery looking for a midday snack. Well, a cool photo of a coyote at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, at any rate.

Oh, look: Now tourists are taking pictures of our rats.

Speaking of rats, you know what eats them? Cats and coyotes! And it seems we have tons of both these days, although urban-coyote researchers say the canines sometimes eat the felines:

... "We've found all kinds of stuff in their scat - cats, seals [on Cape Cod], fruit, food wrappers, you name it." Strauss suggests coyotes' most important competitors in urban areas may be feral cats and that these predators coexist by foraging at different times of day. ...

Ed. squeamish note: A few days ago, somebody posted a photo of a dead rat in Somerville with a 2x4 through it. Sorry, I just can't bring myself to link to that. Blecch!

Hide the poodles: Phil Temples reports there's a pack of coyotes living on some old arsenal land off Greenough Boulevard.

That would be the arsenal land where the army used to burn off depleted uranium, he writes. No word if the coyotes are nine feet tall or can shoot laser beams out of their eyes, however.
