KRASNOYARSK, Russia, July 19 (UPI) -- A portly ground squirrel in Russia was filmed having trouble squeezing its oversized midsection through the entrance to its burrow.

The speckled ground squirrel was filmed last week struggling to get itself out of a Winnie-the-Pooh-esque predicament in Krasnoyarsk Krai.

The squirrel appears to be lodged in the entrance to its burrow and struggles to free itself while human observers laugh in amusement.

Speckles ground squirrels live in boroughs about 3 feet underground.
