Incredible Pictures Show 'Fattest Squirrel in the UK' and it Can't Stop Eating
Fox News ^ | Chris Ciaccia

A photographer in the U.K. snapped pictures of what's been described as possibly "the fattest squirrel in the U.K." And the minuscule mammal can't stop eating.

David Hoztaby, from Bingley West Yorks, was walking one afternoon when he spotted the sizable squirrel, unfazed by Hoztaby, British news agency SWNS reports. It was then that the part-time photographer realized that he needed to take the photos.

“I’ve never seen such a big squirrel before so I got my camera out," Hoztaby told SWNS. “It caught my eye immediately because it was just so large. I thought ‘look at the size of that one.' He seemed really engrossed with his meal, he was just chomping away. Which probably explains why he was so big."

Timmy Tiptoes is real!


THEN Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down—
"Timmy Tiptoes! Oh fie, Timmy Tiptoes!" And Timmy replied,
"Is that you, Goody Tiptoes? Why, certainly!"

He came up and kissed Goody through the hole;
but he was so fat that he could not get out.

Has anyone heard that Nadler likes hot dogs and has been bringing them into the Impeachment hearing to eat?

Those freakin' grey squirrels are an invasive species in the UK, and you're allowed to hunt them anytime, anywhere, no limit, its practically your duty to do so.

The cameraman may think it's cute, but that varmint should have been put down.

My Dad, who just passed away on 1-26-20, used to sing that song to me when I was a kid! Not that I’m fat, far from it, but it always made me laugh.

If it made you laugh, then it was a GOOD song.
I am SO sorry to hear about you dad...only five days ago. It will take you a long time to get over it.

I lost my daddy when I was in my early twenties. There's not a day that goes by when I don't STILL miss him.
From him I learned what a man, son, father, brother, uncle, etc., should be.

Condolences!

I could NOT watch all of it.

So sad. Those folks were young now but it they do live to see 50 or 60 they're going to be in a WORLD of trouble.

Thank you and I’m sorry you lost your Dad too, especially so young. My Dad also sang this song to me...

AHH! This is the better version, sorry. It came out in ‘44. My Dad was born in ‘31.

Well, it IS an Eastern Grey Squirrel with American roots, even if it was born in Britain. Little wonder that it’s chubby.

Did you ever see some of Bob Hope's tours to our men overseas? One time he and someone else SANG that song. I remember it very well.
You have great memories from you dad. That stays with you all your life, doesn't it?

Really?! That’s funny and so Un-PC it couldn’t be played today. Pop has left us with many good memories.
