Ironic namesake of the man (Floyd Hamilton) who (he was part of Bonnie & Clyde's gang) attempted to escape Alcatraz by swimming, this coyote was the first to be seen on the island after swimming there from the mainland (near San Francisco) two months ago. Fearing that Floyd could decimate the seabird colonies nesting on the shore, officials have since caught and returned him to his previous locale

Inhabiting the Alaska Panhandle and offshore islands, the Alexander Archipelago Wolf is also called the "Sea Wolf" for its habit of swimming up to three miles from the shore to fish! The primary species that they fish for is Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), depicted in the jaws of the wolf in front. One other (gray) wolf subspecies, the Vancouver Island Wolf (C .l. crassodon) has also been observed to swim out after fish. When fish aren't available, the wolves will take more typical (warm-blooded) prey such as waterfowl, and Sitka Deer (Odocoileus columbianus sitkensis) also found in the same region. The Alexander Archipelago wolf (a quite distinct subspecies genetically) ranges in color from ashy (pale) gray (with a dark muzzle) to blackish (very dark) brown, often with white-tipped hairs on the rump.
