Coyote swam 2 miles to Alcatraz Island, twice as far as biologists had expected
"We have never, ever heard such a story of a coyote making such a long journey in a pretty challenging ocean current."
A coyote swam from Angel Island to Alcatraz Island, covering a distance of 2 miles. Initially, biologists believed it swam from San Francisco, a shorter distance. National Park Service wildlife ecologist Bill Merkle expressed admiration for the coyote's accomplishment. Camilla Fox from Project Coyote suggested the coyote was likely searching for a mate or new territory. Video footage captured the coyote's struggle to reach the rocky island, and DNA analysis confirmed its origin from Angel Island's coyote population.
