    Whilst small, the "dwarf" squirrels do look pretty chubby to me. Posted 5 years ago

      Haha it is very chunky indeed!
      It's also a bit odd, because this was seen at 2400 masl, quite a bit above the normal range of the species, but a Peruvian expert ID'ed it, so I was happy to take his word.       Posted 5 years ago
