in what is said to be likely either the waves of the storms the bay area has had recently, or an effort to find new territory, a coyote was spotted swimming across the san francisco bay and climbing onto the rocky shores of alcatraz. site biologists have apparently never seen this before, but are letting her stay, as there's plenty chicks, eggs, and rats to eat on site.²

Bush dogs are living proof that team work makes the dream work! When these small canines hunt half of the pack will pursue their prey over land, while the other half waits in water for the target to try to swim away. Bush dogs are particularly adapted to this style of hunting, as their partially webbed feet make them excellent swimmers.
