University of Michigan Squirrel Club

<p>schmohawk: I don’t know the answer, but are you asking because of Princeton’s black squirrels?</p>

<p>squrrels run away from me all the time, idk why :(</p>

<p>Poor square. :frowning: When I first got to campus I joked that the squirrels made me miss my dog less, since they were following me around and begging for food. lol</p>

<p>I have never seen black squirrels in Ann Arbor, not even at the arb or anything. I see them a LOT in Detroit and once or twice in Farmington Hills, so Michigan does have them, but not A2. A2 just has the red/brown squirrels so far as I know.</p>

<p>Squirrels run away from me too, and I don’t consider myself to be particularly menacing.</p>

<p>Perhaps you’ve got a reputation among the squirrels of not having food on you often enough. That’s enough to make anyone unpopular.</p>

<p>East Lansing has black squirrels also, which seemed to be relatively big and friendly. There also were a good number of albinos when we lived there. Does anyone know anything about the genetics involved?</p>

<p>I just saw some pictures of Ann Arbor squirrels on Flickr. They are very cute, but stunningly fat!</p>

<p>Squirrels here are vicious and fearless. One of them fought me for my sandwich. I only managed to get away after another squirrel came and challenged it. I must disapprove of any school with a club that actively encourages interacting with squirrels. It can only end in tears.</p>

Found on the diag.</p>

<p>DC has black squirrels and so does the Bronx, near the zoo. I like 'em.</p>

<p>I found this info about the DC black squirrels: Teddy Roosevelt!

<p>I thought that they seem to stay confined to small areas, but this article says they do spread out.</p>

<p>The squirrels on the DC Mall run up to you and beg for food. :)</p>
