UW Squirrel Tour

Today we learned about squirrels on the UW campus, as well as different species of squirrel. The tour began with the group showing us a video of squirrels and their behavior on campus, including their feeding practices and human interactions. All of the squirrels filmed were friendly to humans and accepting of the food given to them. They showed how they climb and move, and how squirrels from outside the campus behave differently in the presence of humans, and are a lot less chubby.
The tour continued with some of the mounts from the Burke museum, which showed different species of squirrel and chipmunks from the state and beyond. We also had the chance to feed some of the squirrels up on north campus, which was actually really fun.
Then my group ran the butterflies, moths, skippers, beetles and bees tour, which I think went really well but I didn't get here about the other stations as I was busy with the butterfly station.
