in your introduction you mention that the you should be able to get closer to the squirrels on campus than to those that live in the woods. Do you plan on testing that theory, if not, than don't mention a theory that you don't plan on proving.Hypothesis?
Your methods are well stated. The only confusing part is that of time. Other than the first test are you going to have set times to test the squirrels? I am assuming that you will follow the same time schedule as you set up for your first test.
Also, are you going to have a base speed of approachment for all your test. How will you be sure that all of the group members approach the squirrels in the same manner?
In your conclusions, do you predict not just which traits will effects the squirrel's behavior, but how that effect them. Run away earlier or later?
