I live in the San Antonio area. Most of them down here are skinny mangy looking things - but - we do have a few of a different type. These are larger, big bushy tail, more of a fox like face but big. And I will admit, they are not an unattractive looking animal. They also appear to be more bold. A few months ago I was driving through one of our city parks, that is really more of a nature preserve. It is minimal roads cut through what was once a large ranch.
This was in the afternoon, broad daylight. Two coyotes just kind of saunter across the street in front of me. One is the typical skinny small thing, but the other one is one of the larger, better looking examples. They cross the street and I pull up and stop. I of course am in an automobile with the windows rolled up, so I feel no fear. The scrawny one sees me and takes off into the brush. The larger one just stands there and stares back. He was really a quite good looking animal, and I suspect must have been crossed with something. He was about German Sheppard size or bigger and completely unafraid. Needless to say I didn’t open the car door for a better look.
