Coyote Swims to Alcatraz

0:03 Calioka Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. You've heard of escape from Alcatraz? How about escape to Alcatraz? And what if I tell you it wasn't a person escaping to Alcatraz? It was a coyote. That's right. A coyote was captured on video somehow on Alcatraz Island. The only way it could have gotten there was by taking one of the ferries and maybe somebody would have noticed, or by swimming there. And sure enough, there is footage showing the coyote swimming ashore and climbing onto the Alcatraz shoreline. The park rangers were alerted they could not find said coyote. It is possible the coyote swam back, or it might be somewhere on the island.

0:46 Janet is an amateur naturalist who has studied coyote behavior and says the animal could survive on Alcatraz, at least for a short period, because the island offers food sources and puddles of fresh water that could sustain the coyote. Janet told KPIXTV the best thing to do is leave the coyote alone, because this is it doing what it does best, which apparently is swim to Alcatraz. A class ring had been missing for decades. It was returned to a Nebraska family after it was discovered buried on the beach of New Jersey by a metal detector enthusiast. Andrew was doing his thing in bellmhar and found a ring. All we knew about the ring were the initials b W. He dug deep and somehow from b W. That led them to Crete High School in Nebraska. Andrew contacted the Crete Public Library. They worked with the Crete Public Schools Foundation to trace the initials. They figured out b W is Barbara Wilage, class of sixty six. Barbara's sister, Sandy said, we still have no idea how the ring got there. Again, Nebraska and belmore, New Jersey are not close to each other.

1:49 Barbara's sister said, Barbara lived in Boston for a while, but how it got to New Jersey, who knows? Anyway, the ring is back. Good news for the at By to Water Animal Shelter, Nova Scotia. You know how many animals they had recently? None? Sam is the shelter's communication and marketing coordinator, and told the CTV it's crazy to say, but today we actually have no one available for adoption. Everyone is either adopted or waiting for their vent health certificate. That's fantastic, Sam said. Last year, around this time, adult cats, senior cats, or cats with medical complications were staying in the shelter a little bit longer than your average kitten. But this year we're not even seeing that. Over the past twelve months, the shelter placed five hundred pets, averaging forty one adoptions per month. That is awesome. I'd love to hear more stories like that. Now, let me tell you about Lois. Like many Midwestern families, Lois held onto an old Sauer Kraut crock for decades. It sat on the porch for forty years out there in the winter, and then ninety year old Lois started preparing for a yard sale. She thought maybe she'd get one hundred dollars for the crock. She contacted Ken the auctioneer. Now coincidentally, Ken the auctioneer was ready preparing for a major stoneware auction featuring dozens of antique red wing crocs. Can the auctioneer took a look. He noted the molded handles and the butterfly design. He immediately recognized it as exceptionally rare. Again, Lois was hoping for one hundred bucks. Can the auctioneer said, I think you're going to be surprised. On Lois's ninety

3:20 first birthday, they auctioned this thing off thirty two thousand dollars. You see, according to Redwing Collectors dot org, only about twenty percent of red Wing salk lace places were signed on the side. Making such examples Holly sought afforter. The crocks were produced in red Wing, Minnesota from the late eighteen seventies until about nineteen hundred. Happy Birthday, Lois. And in Suffolk County, New York. The police have responded to an alarm at the bank. They did catch the suspect. The suspect was a deer that had crashed through a window. The Suffo County PD said officers were summoned to Webster Bank and Ridge when the alarm went off. They arrived to find that a buck had rashed through a window and became trapped inside, and the buck made a mess.

4:05 The police were able to lass over the deer and lead it outside. It was returned to the wild. On social media, the Suffolk County PD posted and I kind of love this. We think the buck was looking for bucks. That's a good one. Oh, that reminds me. I host a podcast. It's called Daily Comedy News.
