Stepping outside into the academic jungle that is UCF, students are faced with some inherent dangers – renegade long-boarders, SGA campaigning tents, torrential downpours. However, the most terrifying menace of them all is the infamous UCF squirrel. If my story sounds exaggerated to you, just check out this YouTube video

Can you send KnightNews.com your video so they can put it up!?!?!?
There is a squirrel that jumps from a tree to our dining room area in Lake Claire. I videotaped this thing eating away at the screen in front of our window. He created a hole big enough for him to crawl in between the screen and our window and temporarily get stuck. Yes, I got this all on film.
Once.. I was brave and I stopped to look at a squirrel. This little thing happened to have balls though, and it proceeded to climb on my leg and up to my chest while I spun around in circles until I flung it off. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I didn’t scream like a girl.
OH… EM… GEE… DRAMA!!!
Also, if the squirrels were in tents, we wouldn’t have to worry about them outside.
Haha, I had some peanuts once and a squirrel was sitting on my leg eating them out of my hand. Another time, much later, one was following me similar to your experience. I then proceeded to make squeaking noises hoping that they would somehow be interpreted as leave me alone. The squirrel ran up in a tree and screeched for like 10 seconds. I seriously thought it was calling for help and I carefully watched my back on the way back to my dorm. I also saw a girl laying on a bench studying once and the trash can 3 feet from her face made a noise. As soon as she looked at it, a squirrel jumped out and she screamed bloddy murder; it was awesome. Those things can be crazy =)
this is real journalism here…squirrels aren’t exactly a top priority for students. what about safety issues, tuition increases, or heaven-forbid actual newsworthy stories.
Just noticed the Mistery of Silly walks poster behind you.
Good Call
What planet did this moonbat drop off of? Oh wait!! This is the typical UCF student,probably a member of the senate.
I was eating outside the student union on one of the benches once and had a two squirrels gang up on me. While one had me distracted the other would try to sneak in behind me and steal my fries. Eventually one got on top of my drink which was sitting on the bench next to me and just sat there on the lid staring at me waiting for me to give it a french fry.
Its funny and the squirrels are nuts. If you don’t like it don’t come here for news, but clearly you can’t stay away
knightnews is really stretching for stories….plus tthis girl be lie’ing
I was outside student union when i heard a horrible screaming. I ran to see what was the matter, and found a poor girl sitting on a bench, cradling her chicken nuggets as a squirrel inched closer and closer to her lap.
