Can you tell if she lost part of her tail due to injury, or if she was born with a short tail? The relatively uninterrupted fur pattern makes me suspect the latter, but I’ve never seen a squirrel with such a short tail. I’ll have to keep my eye out…
I’m not OP, but I’d guess the squirrel actually has a “normal” tail, but it’s bent away from our perspective (and towards that depression in the tree), giving a false appearance that it’s cut off. I’m not sure though

It is actually really short, not a weird illusion thing. No clue if she was BornWithIt™ or if it’s an injury :o From another angle :
