Penny Cherubino photographed a woman walking her pig on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in the Back Bay yesterday.

And then there's this video of three coyotes cavorting behind somebody's house on Weld Street in Roslindale (taken by a woman who obviously was keeping her toddler securely indoors):

coyotes yelping/howling in my back yard in Littleton almost nightly.
Pretty eerie and disconcerting, especially now that I know our local coyotes are actually wolf-coyote hybrids...

Eastern coyotes are potentially wolf hybrids, not necessarily. None of the coyotes I've seen around here look wolf-ish at all and are all loners.
Here's another good article on the subject:

We were on the same trail this woman got killed on just a few months earlier.

...but there have been isolated incidents of coyotes exhibiting wolf-like behavior. Last June, a woman and her dogs were surrounded and menaced by a group of coyotes in broad daylight in Groveland.

I've seen coyotes in both the Southwest and here, and ours are definitely larger. Having heard them every night this week in the woods close to my house, I'm quite sure the ones serenading me are at least three or four in number.

I'm not complaining; the rabbits that plagued my garden last season have disappeared without a trace.
