After sharing footage of her encounter with a large coyote in the arboretum on Twitter, Holley told
The Boston Globe that she was snowshoeing with her friend and her dog when she saw the carnivorous canine about 20 feet away. It seemed to be ravenously tucking into a dinner of raw rabbit, but with teeth bared, it started stepping toward the Roslindale resident and her crew once it noticed them.
