The fattest squirrel in the world

Here's a squirrel we met last month in the Common. Squirrels there are very, um, friendly, and this one must be particularly forward, as evidenced by its gut. Note that you can barely see its little feet. Note also that it is eating. We gave it that nut. We're enablers.

I wonder if this squirrel is even able to haul itself up trees, or if it has become a ground squirrel due to its heft.

Maybe we should have fed it a rice cake instead.
