Squirrels on Campus

"The snow is melting away. Do you think spring will actually come this time? You know what, I think I'll keep my nest up and running for a few more days just incase."

"You students think you're coming back to learn and further your society, but really... your purpose is to manufacture delicious crumbs for us. Think about it... Everything in human society revolves around food. If there's food, there's crumbs, and if there's crumbs, there's happy squirrels! Therefore, humans' purpose is to manufacture squirrel food."

"Pondering the abyss before me; a sorrowful week on campus commences without human food sprinkled across the snow."

"Heyy, psssssst!! OVER HERE!" Me: "Ya man, what's up?" "I've seen you using that camera with humans too... why?"... Me: "Well that's how I make a living." "People give you food to take pictures of them?" Me: "Uuuum, something like that. They give me something I can trade with other people for food." "Well how about this, if you take some really good pictures of me, I'll give you a few bagel pieces." Me: "So, you'd like a photo-shoot, and you'll pay me bagel with pieces?" "Well isn't that better than having to go trade things for bagel pieces." Me: "Um, yeah, I guess it is... You know what, I'll do it free of charge as long as you give me permission to show the photos to other humans." "Alright, deal!"

"Sometimes I get a bit too confident. But that's why I practice in the winter! ...it doesn't hurt as much when you face-plant."

Here at McGill, we may not have flying squirrels, but they're pretty damn confident in their ability to hover! :P Here, you can see one of ours speeding across lower campus at low altitude.
