Animal Intelligence?

In IS 101 today a group presented on the idea of animal intelligence and it made me think of the squirrels here on campus. I thought to myself, "are the squirrels here smarter than the average squirrel population?" I thought about this because when you walk by these little guys they dont even move. You could be a foot away and they wont be phased. Its amazing how they apparently have adapted to people being very close to them and they know we wont hurt them, or we will get in trouble. Dont get me wrong though, they arent dumb. They will still run away from you if you try to go after them. I would know, i have tried. Nifty little creatures those squirrels are...
