A random squirrel fact for you. The squirrels are actually doing what they were brought here for. It's actually quite sad. You see it used to be that back in the 1700s squirrels enjoyed the status dogs and cats have today. They were pets. All these squirrels are descendents of the largest wave of abandoned pets. On the west coast, "conservation" laws were actually intended to eradicate them as the public abandoned their pets and fondness for their squirrels.

Interesting but we definitely have native squirrels, it's just those damn eastern gray squirrels that aren't native
