Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the comments, if Vox is right and he’s ready for winter we’re in big trouble this year. :)

This chubba bubba is surely hitting a feeder. He could star as Fat Bastard in one of those Austin Powers movies. He would be looking at a little deer mouse saying "Hey You! Get in my belly!".

krastoll101 says:

Guys don't be fooled, this isn't natural. The reason it's so fat is because of pollution and poisons in the environment. Something as simple as plastic has a chemical that leeches out and acts like a hormone in the body and is responsible for early onset of puberty. WAKE UP!!!

This is truly awesome! You can almost hear him saying to himself, "Whoops... I ate too much, and I think I'm gonna be sick!" I seem to be having quite some difficulty trying to imagine how this guy can scurry up a tree and hop around like other squirrels. = )
