This is a photo of a squirrel I took on campus. I did not want to get to close to him/her in fear of it running away. The squirrel appears t be eating garbage that students have littered on to the grass. This is terrible for its diet because it is a primary consumer They normal eat things like nuts, berries, native fruits and veggies, insects, and plants in the ground. The squirrel is currently scaviging for food in the grass which is the top layer of soil known as the "O horizon". This layer of soil contains the most organic matter, so hopefully if the squirrel is eating the grass they will be better off than eating the garage! Students need to stop littering outside because of the wildlife we have around here and it could severely effect the animals.
