I've heard of a Harvard man, but a Harvard squirrel?

This little chubby squirrel was not afraid of the people walking around Harvard Yard tonight. In fact, he ran up to my youngest son and gave him an imploring look, like he was saying, "Hey, kid, you got a snack for me?" Then when my husband squatted down and and put out his hand, the squirrel ran over and sniffed his glove, actually touched it with his nose. This unsuspecting city squirrel had no idea that the guys he was trying bum snacks from hunt his country cousins when they can.
Fabulous definition and the B&W really works

What an adorable little guy--this is a great black and white of a street-wise city squirrel. I love squirrel photos and this one is a Fav!!

What a fabulous capture. He reminds me of a time at Glastonbury where a squirrel took food straight from my husband's hand!

@swilde @lynnilou Thanks!
@paulam Thanks for the Fav!
@ceilidh They can get quite tame and used to people. I have no doubt this little guy would have eaten out of their hands if they had any food with them. They are so fun to interact with. My husband kept laughing, saying "I take my family to Harvard to show them the beautiful buildings, and they spend more time playing with the squirrels. Yep, we're rednecks!" LOL!
@sarasdadandmom @digitalrn ROFL! It's a shame we aren't still in Indy, my two boys would have come over with their air rifle and taken care of your squirrel problem.
