Warmer Weather Is Making Squirrels Seriously Tubby

#1 Squirrels generally start to get quite roly-poly in the winter months but this year they are fatter than ever.

Wildlife presenter Iolo Williams says the mild winter had left an "abundance of food for squirrels." And they have been eating instead of storing for the months when they normally would have little to no food available.

#2 There has been "no shortage of nuts, seeds, and fungi for them to eat and store,” he said.

He also said that because of their winter fur, they seem even fatter than they normally would, but all the extra food isn't doing them any justice either.

#3 And the fat squirrels are not just centered in the United States either..

#4 Extra-tubby squirrels are being spotted in the UK and elsewhere.

#5 Lots of fatter-than-normal squirrels have been spotted in Canada.

Luckily for Canadian squirrels black is a slimming color. But Grace thinks they are so cute.

#6 Nick snapped these gatherers in Birmingham, MI and says he "loves fat squirrels."

#7 Squirrels are taking full advantage of the warmer weather.

#8 Instagram and Twitter is buzzing with pictures of the almost giant squirrels. This fatty was even used for several funny memes after this posting.

#9 Squirrels don't hibernate, so to survive the harsh winter, they stuff themselves on food towards the end of the year to build up fat reserves.

This can lead to squirrels putting on a ton of weight.

#11 All over the globe, people are noticing the fat furry critters running around, from Wales to Canada, and America.

Expert Iolo Williams says that the squirrels could get sick from over eating, because their body is set to eat tiny amounts 1/3 of the year, and they are not stopping. However, there is no cause for alarm, and they are fun to watch!
