Video: Coyote swims in Bay off Angel Island

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A video posted by state park officials on Instagram shows a coyote swimming near Angel Island.

The footage, captured by a park ranger, shows the coyote swimming a quarter mile off the coast in July. The animal appeared to be a strong swimmer and was not in distress, eventually turning back towards Angel Island.

The park ranger who observed the coyote noted that it was likely coming from Tiburon and heading towards Angel Island before turning back.

This is not the first time a coyote has been observed swimming in the area. There has been at least one other known instance of a coyote successfully swimming from Angel Island to the mainland.

Scientists estimate that at least 14 coyotes currently live on Angel Island.
