I am a meat-eating anatomist and neuroscientist - even so, I have often 
marveled at how tame and friendly certain squirrels and other furry 
creatures are to me!  They frequently come near enough to touch.
	This being the case, I have nevertheless found that they taste 
much better when they are harder to catch.
