We have black squirrels at Santa Clara. :) The rumor is that they were part of an experiment at Stanford, and when the experiment was over they let them go and they eventually turned up at SCU. I don't know if I believe that though. But we do have them---I've seen them. Some people are fairly obsessed.

SCU is also the oldest university in California.
