Yet another gorgeous image from Shcherbatkina. Though I do think it must be said...
This appears to be the body of a chipmunk with a squirrel's tail. Chipmunks don't have big fluffy tails and squirrels aren't this chubby and round in the body, and are (even in the winter) quite long and lithe. When they stand on their hind legs, squirrels bodies are shaped like that of a meerkat or teeny kangaroo. :)
Admittedly there are other species than those I've seen - both at home and in various parts of the U.S. - but what's interesting is that almost without exception, the breeds of squirrels that are more rounded in body like that, have thinner tails like a chipmunk, not the thick, fluffy, curling tail we associate with squirrels. A notable exception being fox squirrels which can end up so fat and bulbous that they look like a beaver in an orange squirrel costume.
