COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Freddie Mercury got it wrong: It’s fat-bottomed squirrels that make the rockin’ world go ’round — at least in Clintonville.

Big Squirrel was thought to be mythical until this piece of video evidence shot by NBC4 photographer Dan Hammond, captured while he was out on a news assignment.

The video shows a very large squirrel at Iuka Park off Summit Street, three miles away from where Big Squirrel was first said to be seen at Clinton-Como Park.

The video shows a truly bigger-than-average squirrel.
