Ron,
I don't know what it is for sure but you may want to take the photos down to Scipio Creek Marina to the St. Vincent's Island folks. I don't know if you are aware that they have been doing the wolf breeding program for lots of years on St. Vincents. It is not that unimaginable that one could swim over to St. George. It is one of the locations they were breeding red wolves. I think they have said they believed some of them had left the island. That was a couple of years ago that I had that conversation with them and went out to try and photograph them.

Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.
