Warning:  The Village Voice article contains taxidermy images. However, the information from Gotham Coyote Project is enlightening.

By the way, the article mentions residents feeding the animals to try to prevent aggressive behavior.  There’s no word on whether that has had any real effect on the coyotes, but many wild animals actually become more aggressive with humans when we feed them.  That’s why some areas have laws forbidding it.
