Summary
A coyote was captured on video swimming to Alcatraz Island in San Francisco for the first time ever, surprising experts and staff. The unprecedented event occurred earlier this month when a tourist recorded the coyote swimming to shore, which was initially met with disbelief by Alcatraz employees. The coyote's ability to swim over a mile in cold, strong currents to reach the island has baffled scientists and raised questions about coyote behavior and adaptation in urban environments.
