Is Lehigh obsessed with its squirrels?

The Huffington Post thinks so. In 2013, the online site tagged Lehigh as being among the colleges across the country “most obsessed” with them.

Consider this:

• The Lehigh Squirrel has more than 1,100 Twitter followers.
• There’s a YouTube video!
• The Brown and White staff devoted a humorous, off-beat column to them, titled “Lehigh’s Little Problems.” 

“The likelihood of being hit by tree nuts is at an all-time high this time of year,” wrote the Brown and White. “Is it a coincidence that squirrels have also been spotted amongst the trees? I think not.”

Love them – or fear them – the squirrels seem to be everywhere on the Asa Packer campus.
