The squirrels on campus back in the day were so used to people. We'd go with a bag of peanuts and they would all come running. Some would sneak in and steal them out of the bag, others would eat them out of your hand, a couple would go wherever you led them, including on top of my head or in the palm of my outstretched hand. And then sit there and eat the peanuts.
We had some that were like that and some that were mean AF. Some would hide in bushes and leap out and attack you when you were walking by.
I did that with the chipmunks but they started trying to drag away my fingers like it was a really heavy peanut. And they bite hard.
It certainly wasn't THAT level of engagement, but when I was in college the students had to be told not to feed the on-campus alligators.
