6 days agoDeer seen swimming in SF Bay far from shore
A video from a passenger on a San Francisco Ferry showed an unusual sight on the water this week: a deer swimming through the cold waters of the bay. In a video posted by Congressman Jared Huffman, the deer paddles close to the ferry and seemingly very far from the shoreline. Huffman said in the post that his daughter captured the unusual video this week, writing, "Look closely, it's not a whale that caused the boat to suddenly slow down, and it's not AI, it's something 'deer' to all of us!"

2 months agoFirst whale of the year found dead in San Francisco Bay
A whale's death offers a unique window and opportunity to study the animal up close and in this particular case, learn more about how this adult female gray whale may have been behaving in San Francisco Bay. We are hopeful that samples taken during the necropsy will shed some further light on the animal's death and help highlight the importance of keeping whales safe while they utilize this urban-wildlife habitat.

The latest crazy coyote behavior in the SF Bay Area is that coyotes are swimming the more than one mile between Tiburon and Angel Island, and apparently somewhere between 14 and 17 coyotes now call Angel Island home. We've known for years that the probable reason that San Francisco has coyotes again is because they probably walked here from Marin County across the Golden Gate Bridge. Now Angel Island park officials have observed another very unexpected coyote behavior.
