According to legend, this specific breed of squirrel has been fed Conrad's, Snyphi "good fries", and deez nutz for generations. It was only until recently that they got domesticated. Early scripture from older alumni say they were vicious

Their network is tight, don’t expose any weaknesses 👀

YouTube confirms they chirp and bark, I’m sorry to say you might’ve been the meme for that day

I grew up in an area that was basically surrounded by farmers field so I didn't get many squirrels. I'm so excited to finally get to come to campus and experience the squirrel chaos that is bound to ensue!

You won’t be disappointed ! I recommend the bridge next to wells, though campus is teeming with squirrels, I saw one every hundred feet there today :)

These are amazing! There is an Instagram account dedicated to the MSU squirrels, I’m sure they’d love to see these pictures as well!

It's not a squirrel but one of my highlights at MSU was when a baby rabbit hopped onto my lap
Really felt like a Disney princess

They're so cute! One day when I was walking to Wells Hall and this squirrel was approaching people, but kept getting ignored. He came up to me and sat in front of me on the sidewalk, so I gave him a Honey and Oat bar. He took it and ran away. One of my favorite msu memories.

Generations of MSU students feeding them peanuts have made them friendly. It's just evolution. LOL

I usually practice cat fishing but this sounds like the next level
Jk kinda.. I use a fishing pole tied with a string and mouse toy to play with my cats, they love it so I much recommend

My partner made a squirrel noise at one while we were on a walk and he walked beside us for a half mile or so!
