Episode notes
The Smithsonian in Washington says that it has receipts dating back to the year 1900 when the superintendent of the National Zoo, one Frank Baker, was thirsty for the squirrels. Black mammals have 18% lower heat loss in temperatures below negative 10 degrees Celsius. Researchers say they may survive the city better because researchers say they're more visible to drivers who are looking to avoid squirrel murder on their way to the post office.
