Visit This Website to Track Squirrels in the Central Park!

Project Description

Hunt A Squirrel is a web application that can keep track of all the known squirrels in Central Park. Through Hunt A Squirrel, we can see a map that displays the location of the squirrel sightings. Information about whether a squirrel is eating, running, etc. is also available. In a word, no matter how you feel about squirrels, love them or afraid of them, want to see them or avoid them, this web application is exactly what you are looking for.

Background

Joffrey Hosencratz, the new owner of our company, fancies the show Rick and Morty and a particular scene coupled with a traumatic childhood squirrel experience and a bad crystal bath experience in Sedona as left him wanting. He would like to start keeping track of all the known squirrels and plans to start with Central Park.
