If it is a squirrel it looks like a tufted-ear squirrel.

I'd say that's probably been Photo-shopped.

I'm pretty sure that's a real photo- I've seen pictures of squirrels like that before.

Maybe it's a Eurasian red squirrel? They have conspicuous ear tufts, but their coloring is generally different.

It looks like someone Photoshopped the ears of a tufted ear squirrel onto the body of a common squirrel.
