Overview

• At least two residents in San Rafael’s Lucas Valley sought emergency-room care after mid-September encounters with an unusually aggressive squirrel.
• Residents posted flyers warning of a 'very mean squirrel' that reportedly targeted more than five people in the neighborhood.
• Marin Humane reports no new incidents since mid-September and continues to monitor community tips.
• The nonprofit says it will coordinate with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to remove the animal if aggressive behavior returns.
• Officials say feeding wildlife likely caused the habituation behind the attacks, and they note squirrels are not typical rabies vectors.
