Squirrels at UCLA have no sense of fear, and for how well they are fed, who can blame them? Far from a rare sighting, particularly on the north side of campus among towering redwood trees, these fluffy-tailed rodents are bold, curious creatures who will often be found scampering up branches or feasting on leftovers from an unsuspecting student’s lunch.
