His previous owner had given the cat a luxurious lifestyle.

Bob the Hedgehog Bob the Hedgehog has become something of a celebrity in Japan, not because of any particular skill or ability, but as a result of being the

fattest

hedgehog in the country, his owner says he is this way because he insists on eating too much food. , but surely there has to come a time when you stop giving it to him.

He lives in the Hedgehog Cafe, where guests can drink tea or coffee while surrounded by the creatures and, if they get carried away with the cuteness, they can pet them too. Of course, there are serious concerns about the ethics of a place like this and animal rights activists use Bob as proof of how bad coffee really is for the hedgehog to get to this size and be exposed to the elements. humans so regularly in this way. It is not a natural existence for animals, and even if they seem happy, they most likely are not. 13 To highlight the orangutan as one of the closest species to us on the planet, it is perhaps no surprise that orangutans can gain weight in a similar way to how humans do, it is a particular problem for those who They are kept in captivity and Oshin is a perfect example of this.

They treated her like a child, dressing her in clothes and feeding her sweets and processed foods, which It meant that he soon began to gain too much weight. She started acting like a human being by walking upright because he had never been around her. of her own species when she was in her teens, it was too difficult for her family to care for her. It was at this time in 2010 that she was taken to Monkey World in the UK, which is a sanctuary dedicated to the care of rescued primates ever since.

She has been following a strict diet to help her get rid of excess weight, but it is a long, gentle process that will take several years to prevent it from causing her undue stress. Number 12. squirrel Squirrels are genetically programmed to spend the summer hoarding and eating food, so by the time winter sets in, they are more than prepared for the upcoming seasons when there will be food shortages, but if you live in North America or Europe, you may have noticed how squirrels seem to grow larger and some look like them. I've been spending too much time in grocery stores instead of it being a result of being overfed or becoming increasingly greedy, it's actually thought to be a result of climate change.

They naturally grow towards the end of summer, but this fat is burned during the summer. winter months, when they need to produce additional heat and have only recently had reserves to feed on, although the summers have lasted longer, there is more food available and the winters have not been as cold, meaning that by the time spring comes they already have much more. bulk than normal after another summer of feeding, they look much bigger and this will only get worse in the future number 11,747 the bear if you ever visit the Brooks River in Cut by National Park in Alaska you are sure to see several bears grizzly, but there is one that is the big daddy of them all, appropriately named 747 after the jumbo airliner.

He is so big that his big belly practically drags on the ground and he is often seen eating a large amount of food during an observation in 2018. He ate 15 whole salmon in a row, which is equivalent to about 67,000 calories, while he is quite normal Bears weigh a lot during the summer, ensuring they have enough body fat to survive the months of hibernation. 747 takes this to the extreme because Due to his size, he is the dominant bear along the river and this means he gets the best fishing spots, allowing him to increase his size even more compared to the others.

His size could be up to one and a half times the size of a common bear. bear, making him by far the fattest known on record number 10, cassie the border collie, as anyone who has ever had a dog will know that he will happily eat anything he can get his hands on and if you fall for the trap to give it to them, too many treats and they will soon start to gain weight. Cassie the border collie is an extreme example of this after having owners who fed her a diet of takeaway roast dinners and even chocolate.

At the age of seven, she had spent her entire life being accustomed to eating human food, but this came at a huge cost: not only did she weigh nine kilos, or 126 pounds, but she began to develop serious health complications when her elderly owner fell ill. , was taken in by a dog care trust and only three people were needed.

The first thing any budding aquarium enthusiast will have, but they have a propensity to keep growing and can soon become too fat.

There is a disease called dropsy that can make them look bloated and almost like they are about to explode, but overweight goldfish do not. They do not necessarily suffer from this as carp offspring, they are likely to grow much larger than the 10 or 11 inches in length they can reach in a tank and will also continue to eat food if given it, so it is extremely important to only feed them a small amount each day if they gain too much weight their bodies will become bulbous their eyes may even be covered so they cannot see and on some occasions they will start swimming upside down because their swim bladders do not work properly before continuing make sure to subscribe to the top five with notifications in 8. mabel the pig, pigs aren't exactly known for being picky eaters and healthy ones will have some rolls of fat on their bodies, but mabel is a pot. -The Boston potbellied pig had been overfed virtually her entire life when animal rescue officers removed her from her owner's home.

She weighed a whopping 196 pounds, which is more than twice what she should have weighed. She weighed so much that rolls of fat covered her eyes. and not being able to even stand, her immobile life was making her very depressed. Fortunately, she was rescued in time and officials needed a board to get her out of the house. They took her to a nearby farm where she was put on a regulated diet and she soon began. to lose weight since for her former owner this was not the first animal she had mistreated and the authorities began actions to prosecute her and hopefully prevent her from having pets again 7. the Darius rabbit, how big is the largest rabbit you have ever seen? known I have ever seen that there are different breeds that grow naturally in different sizes but the largest in the world is called darius which is a continental giant, incredibly it is four feet and four inches long and weighs 49 pounds and as you can imagine Taking care of an animal like this is nothing.

Easy task, the family that owns it has another one that is almost the same size and according to them it cost them over seven thousand dollars a year to feed them both, this includes 2000 carrots and 700 apples, as well as a specialized rabbit dish. food every day and a bale of hay every week, fortunately for them, it is perfectly healthy for this breed to grow to this size, but they will not grow any larger. Rabbits have a specific period of time during which they grow and once it passes they stay that way. that for the rest of their lives, as long as they are fed a regulated diet number six lion hamsters Hamsters are plump animals by nature, especially when they store food in their cheeks, but it is very easy for them to become overweight when they spend their lives in a cage, the main reason for this is lack of exercise, having a wheel is not necessarily enough because not all hamsters spend a lot of time in it, they are also used to gaining volume when there is a lot of food in preparation for the colder months when There isn't that much available, so when they have a continuous supply they will gain weight quickly.

The lion hamster is a great example of this and at just one year old he had reached at least twice the size he should have been. Fortunately, in his case, he was able to move and climb when his owners took steps to reduce his consumption, but not all hamsters are so lucky, raccoon number five, while many people view raccoons as nothing more than pests, there are many who They love the creatures and even keeping them as pets, this must be done carefully because, like any other animal kept in captivity, they can soon gain a lot of weight if their diet and exercise are not carefully monitored.

Raccoons face a bigger problem than cats or dogs, because there are no specially formulated foods that have been designed for them in the wild, they will be constantly active and will eat foods that they have evolved to hunt, but in the house of Someone will eat anything you give them, which is Usually dog ​​food and is designed for a different species, it does not provide raccoons with the particular nutrients they need and, if combined with a sedentary life, they will soon become so round like a ball and they will get to a place where they can do it.

They do not walk on their legs and have to crawl on the floor. Kookaburra number four. Kookaburra are a species of arboreal kingfisher native to Australia and New Guinea. They spend their lives in a variety of environments where they forage for insects to eat, but despite being closely related to kingfishers, they don't spend much time in water, growing up to 17 inches long and weighing an average of 10.5 ounces. Their small bodies are not designed to support too much weight, so if they manage to overeat they can develop serious illnesses. Problems: This kookaburra that was registered in 2017 is about twice the body size it should be and, despite being disturbed by the owner, does not appear to be able to fly - according to them, the bird had jumped onto the balcony from a nearby tree. and the only way they could return him to the forest below was by taking him down the elevator.

Perhaps this fat bird was able to fly but, as expected, it was very happy to take the easy route back home in recent years. Seeing overweight individuals has become increasingly common thanks to the availability of food waste in human communities, and unless measures are taken to contain trash more effectively, it will remain common. Great white sharks are the ocean's fiercest predators and there is almost nothing they can't hunt if they set their minds to it. If you've ever been lucky enough to cage dive with one, you'll know how big they can be, with larger individuals growing to around 20 feet. long and weigh up to 5,000 pounds, this does not mean that they cannot grow even larger when they have managed to find a large amount of food or when they are pregnant;

However, if you ever encounter one of these fish, you will not be left wondering if the cage is strong enough to protect you. This monster great white shark was spotted in 2015 during a dive off the coast of South Africa and, as you can see, it has clearly had its fill of the local seal population. It has a typical length for the species, but its volume is much greater than what you would normally expect to see on the dive. It was estimated that he definitely weighed more than the 5,000 pounds that the largest ones usually weigh and could be much more, you can tell that he has grown beyond his ideal size because his slow movement through the water almost looks like he is fighting. swimming, it is most likely also in the late stages of pregnancy, which could explain its lethargy, still, this is a fish you definitely wouldn't want in the water.

With number two, Obie the Dachshund, there is no doubt that Dachshunds are one of the cutest dog breeds with a variety of different coat colors and types, it is almost impossible not to be fooled by their charms, but As with other dogs, they do not know their limits and will continue to eat fatty foods if available, it is not unusual to see chubby dachshunds going for walks and some have bellies that are almostThey reach the ground, especially if they have short legs, this poses a particular problem because the breed is famous for having a delicate spine, so being overweight can lead to major problems in the future, possibly the fattest Dawson in the world, at least for several years, he was obi.

He was owned by an elderly couple who couldn't take him for a walk and who showed him their affection. him giving him treats, which resulted in the poor dog gaining to a whopping 77 pounds, which is three times the weight he should have been, it got to the point where he couldn't even get up to walk or respond to anyone and he realized When things had gotten out of control, his owners put him up for adoption, he was taken in by a trainee veterinarian who organized a crowdfunding campaign to help raise funds to care for him. The immediate goal was for him to lose 40 pounds, something that was achieved with regular exercise and a carefully planned diet and then, at that time, underwent surgery to remove excess skin.

Now obi is a perfectly healthy weight and looks like any other datsun. He is proof that it doesn't matter how out of control an animal's weight is. there is always a way to reverse the trend with enough effort number one neville the pixie frog american bullfrogs which are also known as pixie frogs thanks to their similar sounding scientific name are large species that are native to most countries in africa in Those that can be found live in a wide range of habitats, from dry savannas and bushland to lakes, canals and ditches, but those kept in captivity tend to gain much more weight than they normally would, the reason for this is that They are used to having to eat food when it is available in the wild because they never know for sure when they will be able to eat next.

This, of course, is not a concern when kept as a pet, but we don't know, so "They will still eat every piece of food offered to them, they usually weigh up to three pounds, but it is not uncommon for them to reach four or five pounds in a tank, not only do they eat more but they don't have the opportunity to eat as much. Exercise so they don't burn calories as fast as you can see. This results in people barely moving to get their food and when They do it, they look like they are struggling, they don't seem able to move their legs and instead look like a ball rolling forward on their bellies.
