Alcatraz Coyote Update 🐺

Recently, we shared a video of a coyote who wowed onlookers by swimming across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island, a 1.25-mile journey through cold, fast-moving water.

It’s believed that territorial pressure in San Francisco may have pushed this coyote, now called Floyd (after Floyd Hamilton, the Bonnie and Clyde getaway driver who attempted to escape Alcatraz by swimming away from the island), to take such an extraordinary risk. Since arriving, Floyd was reported to be spending time near the parade grounds where seabirds nest, and appeared noticeably healthier than when he first arrived.

Joshua Winchell, the park’s chief of communications and special park use, told SFGATE that plans are underway to “humanely trap and remove” Floyd within a week if he doesn’t leave on his own. Officials cite concerns about ecological impacts and the coyote’s ability to survive long-term on Alcatraz. If captured, he would be relocated to an undetermined location outside San Francisco with better habitat and more varied prey.

Speaking to the BBC, Camilla Fox, Founder and Executive Director of Project Coyote said, "Coyotes are incredibly resourceful and able to coexist with humans even in the most densely populated urban environments."

Surviving an arduous swim through icy, fast-moving waters speaks to the remarkable resilience and survival instincts of coyotes. We hope the international attention this journey has received inspires greater respect for North America’s wild song dogs.
