According to Atlas Obscura, the world's largest squirrel statue is 14 feet tall, in Cedar Creek, Texas. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/ms-pearl-the-worlds-largest-squirrel-statue Nitpicking (talk) 03:06, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
There are two African families of squirrels that have range into the Southern Hemisphere, the Xerini and Protoxerini. Yes, I checked Wikipedia. Nitpicking (talk) 03:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Australia has large number of “Big Things”. These are big sculptures / novelty architecture that are scattered over the country. These include things like the Big Cow, The Big Penguin and the Giant Koala. The Koala at 14 meters high is bigger then the fictional squirrel statue.
Since there may be as many as 600 of these things across Australia, the qualification is not as odd as it may sound at first. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_things_(Australia) )
Including the pedestal, the statue's height is approximately six Cueballs, which means Cueball is over ~6 2/3 feet tall. But it would make more sense to me for the record to exclude the pedestal, as the pedestal is not a likeness of a squirrel or a skateboard; in that case, Cueball is well over 10 feet tall.172.71.150.213 06:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
