Here we African Ground Squirrels about that size.
Fairly rare now as they only thrive in the bush - they cannot for some reason survive in urban or built up areas.
Wild ones used (used!) to be very unaware of humans. When I was a kid I remember sitting down and being given swarmed on by squirrels who saw me as a higher vantage point. Bit painful as they had nails like needles.
