There are a total of 16 Stuffed Squirrels in The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Finding all of them will earn you the “No Stone Left Unturned” trophy / achievement. Your progress will be saved everytime you find a new collectible. There is no need to look for it again if you die. There are 16 areas in total and each of them has exactly one squirrel collectible.
WARNING: You cannot get all collectibles in one playthrough! You have to play through the story at least two times. At some points you can travel in two directions with your car. If you choose one location you won’t be able to visit the other unless you start a new game and replay the areas. All statistics (collectibles, kills etc.) will stay if you start a new game in the main menu.
