From the ferocious talons I can tell this is actually a squirrelisaurus, relative to the much larger squirrelodon.

“298 career yards”

I’m picturing a “yard” as, y’know, like someone’s backyard, rather than a distance of 3 feet. Which is even more impressive.

“Bushy Leagues” “Knute the Nut” – ooooh, Mike you are a clever one. This guy looks to be a bit of a snaggle tooth! I hope he doesn’t deflate the…um… ball.

Adorable tummy! Do you suppose squirrels are amenable to belly snorgles?

There is some serious fierce going on here. That nut is toast!
Looks like even the tail does weight lifting.
