Break out the champagne and embrace your fellow humans, because it's now officially the best time of the year.
And no, not the ~holidays~ or whatever. It's motherfuckin' Fat Squirrel Season.
We have finally reached that most magical season when once-sleek squirrels turn into little chubby bundles of heart-bursting joy.
Just look at this little pudgy tummy.
And these polite little paws.
Is this a squirrel or a furry sphere with a tail? It is both. And it is the best.
Don't you just want to stick your face right in its fuzzy, plump belly?
You do. I know you do.
They aren't just getting fat to make you go "squee!" though. Tree squirrels don't hibernate, so they make a nice layer of fat and grow thicker fur to stay warm in the winter.
