Extremely Fat Squirrel Steals Avocado From Trash Can

The meme consists of a line of text at the top followed by a candid outdoor photograph. The top text states 'the fattest squirrel I've ever seen just stole a avocado from my trashcan'. The photo shows a noticeably very plump squirrel perched on the edge of a dark wooden fence, positioned partially next to a thick wooden utility pole, holding an entire dark avocado in its mouth. The background displays a residential neighborhood, including a house with a dark shingled roof, bare deciduous trees typical of late autumn, a small patch of remaining red leaves on one tree, and an overcast sky. The humor comes from the clear correlation between the squirrel's unusually large size and its habit of stealing discarded food like avocados from residential trash cans, which aligns with the original title note that 'Refuse keeps it well fed'.

The accompanying image shows a real squirrel edited to be wearing ornate medieval knight plate armor, complete with a helmet, a tiny sheathed sword attached to its side, and a decorated heraldic shield held in its paws, standing upright on a patch of green grass.
