Move over (slowly) Fat Bears – it’s Fat Squirrel’s time to shine.
Texas recently crowned the chonky champion of Fat Squirrel Week – All Hail ‘Chunkosaurus Rex’!
‘Chunkosaurus Rex’ won the inaugural ‘Fat Squirrel Week’ culminating from a search across the Texas State Park System in a similar bracket-style system as used to determine the fattest bear during the recent ‘Fat Bear Week’ competition using social media likes as votes.
‘Chunkosaurus Rex’ bested fellow Lone Star rotund rodents Chunk Norris, Nutella and Stanley “The Texas Tank” in the finals.
Here’s some more baby got background on the winner from Texas Parks and Wildlife on social media.
“Chunkosaurus is a fan favorite at Dinosaur Valley State Park, moving surprisingly fast in the quest for acorns and camper crumbs.”
