Seriously? A Swimming Coyote and Alcatraz?!
Right, because we needed another reason to question humanitys collective sanity. A coyote swam to Alcatraz. Let that sink in for a moment. We’re obsessing over this…this coyote, paddling its way across the bay like it’s auditioning for a Disney movie. And apparently, it’s a monumental event! “First documented case!” they proclaim. As if wildlife spontaneously developing swimming abilities is something entirely new.
Honestly, Im picturing the coyote thinking, You know what? Alcatraz looks fascinating. Way more interesting than chasing squirrels in Marin County. Probably overheard some tourists bragging about the history and thought it’d be a great photo op for its Instagram account. (Okay, maybe not, but wouldnt that just be fitting?)
We’re building artificial islands dedicated to imprisoning people, disrupting natural habitats, and then were utterly bewildered when an animal decides to take a shortcut across the water? It’s not exactly surprising! Its almost…predictable.
Meanwhile, actual problems – climate change, political instability, the ongoing saga of reality television – get relegated to background noise while we collectively marvel at a furry swimmer and its improbable journey. Fantastic. Just…absolutely fantastic.
