Suicide squirrel or Taliban?

We talk about animals invading the space of humans but it's really the other way around. WE moved into their neighborhoods. Many species moved away from the human invaders but some have been adaptive and squirrels are among them.

There's really a big difference in the how these critters act toward humans. Go to a college campus, and act like you've got a bag of peanuts and you'll have a following. In your regular neighborhoods these critter will be wary of you but, for the most part, learn to just keep a safe distance and go about their business. You'll see their drays (nests) in your trees and they'll raise their young nearby. Now, go deep in the woods where few humans go and squirrels will run and hide from you. The same species that curiously followed you on that college campus wants nothing to do with you in the wild.

Did he have a little headband on?
