    I love watching the squirrels on our campus. Especially when they're trying to eat things like pizza and whole peaches or when they're pounding through the grass. It's so sad when they all go into hibernation. Or when they get eaten by our resident hawk. Though the hawk on it's own is pretty flippin' cool. Though I do sometimes wish it was a little more afraid of people.

    I also find it ironic that our mascot is the owl while our brother school has the black squirrel... explains a lot in our bi-college relationship.

    Aren't those an invasive species? I think in Alabama they have nutria-hunts every now and then, because they're really destructive....

    Though also sortof cute.

    They are extremly destructive. The LA state gov will give you $2 for each nutria that you kill. My neighbor made 50 bucks taking care of the problem in his backyard.

    Also, nutria are rather tasty. If it is combined with pork it is especially delicious.

    Be careful! They are likely to get you while you sleep!

    Best squirrel ever: Twiggy, the water-skiing squirrel. Made appearances in movies like "Anchorman" and "Dodgeball". Here's a news article, with movie clip:

    I will have to disagree.... the best squirrel around is still my beloved Go? She not only can water-ski, but fences as well.

    Plus her relatives were delicious in a stew or as a nice kabob.... not that I should discuss that much.... really Snookums, they were tragic accidents!

    For my roommate's birthday earlier this year, another friend of mine and I went out to catch a squirrel 6am in the morning. We saw one lurking inside a trash can searching for food and we caught it and picked it up by its tail. We went up to the dorm while my roommate's still asleep, and released the squirrel on her bed. Wasn't long before my roommate noticed and jumped off the bed... and we got to say Happy Birthday!

    Ok... that actually didn't happen. My roommate's mom and sister asked her what she did for her birthday and she just BSed all that... It was funny how she got the idea that we caught a squirrel for her...
