Squirrels Gone Wild, UC Davis Starts Birth Control Program (http://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=49897)
DAVIS, CA - According to UC Davis officials, researchers will launch a birth-control program to curb the population of the so-called Fox Squirrels.
Seven years ago, the school says none of the animals existed on campus. Now, there are estimated to be at least 400.
"They're cute. They seem great to have around," said Ecology graduate student Sara Krause. "But what happens is, they get very aggressive when people feed them."
She says they can also disrupt campus buildings and nearby farm fields.
That's why faculty wildlife experts and their students will trap the squirrels, mark them and study their behavior throughout the fall and winter.

A nutty situation indeed.
