Gives 2 thumbs up for London, Ontario adopting the black squirrel as a mascot!

In 1961 ten Black Squirrels from London were exported to Kent State University
An annual Black Squirrel Festival is held each fall at KSU™ featuring performers, Black Squirrel photo and drawing contests, a fair, craft displays, and a 4.2 mile Black Squirrel Run
London's connection to the Black Squirrels of KSU™ have even inspired a song, the Black Squirrels Of London
Kent Ohio could be named the sister city of London, Ontario
London, Ontario is known as the " Forest City" and Kent, Ohio is known as the "Tree City." We share the same squirrels and a similar motto!

There is a Black Squirrel Pub, Annual Black Squirrel Festival, Black Squirrel Music Inc, Black Squirrel Gallery, Black Squirrel Radio Station, Black Squirrel Woodworking, Black Squirrel Books, the Black Squirrel Classic race, and even the Kent State campus police have adopted the black squirrel as their safety symbol. The list goes on and on!

The word "squirrel" derives from the Greek words "skia", which means "shadow", and "oura", which means "tail". The Greeks understood "squirrel" to mean "a creature that sits in the shadow of its tail."
