A Little Known Fact
Ronald Reagan was a president who had a fondness for squirrels at the White House. He would pick up acorns while at Camp David and bring them back for the squirrels on the grounds at the White House. They would hear Air force One and come running. He would drop the acorns for the squirrels en route to the Oval Office. One time he forgot to feed them as he was in a hurry to meet with some heads of state. He heard some noise and when he looked at the windows he saw squirrels pressed up to the glass of the Oval Office looking for their supply of nuts.
The Black Squirrels that roam the grounds of the White House in Washington, D.C. that Ronald Reagan fed are descendants of 18 Black Squirrels exported from Ontario in 1902 and 1906.
