'I was attacked by a squirrel'

dailypennsylvanian.com: "College freshman Samantha Kleinman was strolling down Locust Walk one day in November when she was suddenly hit by something small and furry. Though experts say it is difficult to estimate the exact number of squirrels in Philadelphia, Marty Overline, Penn's pest manager, estimates that he removes approximately 250 squirrels from buildings each year. And with squirrel mating season in full swing -- the first litter of the year is usually born in late winter or early spring -- the animals continue to be a problem on campus.

Engineering freshman Neel Gowdar said squirrels have been frequent visitors to his room on the third floor of Ware College House. He has woken up to find a squirrel sitting on his bed on more than one occasion, and a squirrel has even had a conversation with his friends through the Internet."
