On the other hand, he's certainly proved his physical fitness by completing the trip.

Well I don't mean to hope for his loneliness.

I guess I hope that not too many suitresses are lost to the passion before he finds his mate of elevated luck and/or constitution.

Any resulting pups are going to have to make some difficult decisions though.

(Actually, assuming he's alive and found, relocating him is probably the most humane option)

  • Right, I don’t know much about coyotes but it seems like Alcatraz Island is too small and too touristy for a coyote to breed there.

    • Most of the island is off-limits to tourists. It's administered by the National Park Service.

      Coyotes are territorial and usually have fairly large ranges. Alcatraz is small, but probably big enough to keep a breeding coyote pair well-fed and mostly out of the way of humans.

      But the younguns will need their own territory after a year or so, and needing to cross the Bay to Marin or SF City would be have very low rates of success!
