Just wanna point out this isn't the first time this has happened. And I said the same thing as y'all did on FB about it being a RB tradition. However, I didn't know that Bo did it too.

I'm a little surprised that squirrel isn't gnawing TM's finger off. I used to catch chipmunks all the time as a kid and even those would tear a hole in your hand.

Most near campus do seem to be pretty tame. They let you get pretty close without freaking out. I have never tried to pick one up though

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,852]

McCalebb caught an Auburn Tiger-squirrel

Very faster kind

[WarEagle2 53]

While I'm not trying to down play the ability to catch a squirrel, with the number of people walking through campus daily, most of the squirrels on campus aren't afraid of humans. Almost stepped on one while walking to my final this morning.

OMac didn't need no stinkin' screened in porch to catch squirrels. Tre is still in training.

Rabies.

Rabies.

“Small mammals such as squirrels, rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rabbits, and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to cause rabies among humans in the United States.”

As to chances of having one's finger gnawed off, I've found value in fireplace gloves - very protective. [my wife has cats that bring things home]

Well, I take issue with that statement. My father, one five veterinarians in our family (all AU), was exposed to rabies FROM A COW (confirmed by autopsy). Not a small animal, but certainly an unexpected source as is the point I believe you're driving. My father had to be given the series of injections to ward off the infection. NEVER take chances with such animals of any size.

On a side note, one night while studying I had a bat to drop out of the draperies onto my desk and was in the process of dying......RABID. The house is an antebellum home now located just north of AU and had lots of places for bats to hide.

One thing better than gloves in handling such vermin......a hammer.

[Hook 2]

If there is ANY danger that you or someone might have had contact, DO NOT use a hammer or cause any damage the the animal's head. For the ADPH lab to be able to check the animal for rabies, it must have an intact head. If you destroy said head and think you may be in danger of infection, your only recourse then is to take the shots or cross your fingers. The second option isn't too smart. Rabies is basically 100% fatal. Only a couple of humans are known to have survived it.

I still say use the hammer......the brains can still give the lab results, just ice them real quick after laying hammer to said rodent. LOL

I admit, your cow surprised me, but CDC has known/publicized the risk for some time http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00001268.htm

As for the bat,

“So be safe; never handle a bat.”
