When it comes to keeping slim, it's not just humans that struggle. Whether it's through a thoughtless owner, a health problem or a pure freak of nature, critters across the animal kingdom can pile on the pounds.
減肥是一生之大計(jì)。這不僅適用于人類社會(huì),也照樣困擾著動(dòng)物界??赡苁且?yàn)橛袀€(gè)粗心大意的主人、可能是其自身疾病導(dǎo)致、也可能它天生就是種群中的異類,總之,無(wú)論如何,動(dòng)物們也是會(huì)發(fā)福的。
1) Cassie the dog

This poor pooch looks ready to collie-apse. Cassie, seven, was fed on a human diet which saw her balloon to more than 9st. Her lonely, elderly owner treated her as a best friend and the pals dined together on takeaways and Sunday roasts.
這條可憐的雜毛狗看著快要爆炸了。Cassie今年7歲,它一直跟人類一樣吃飯,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)到9英石(約合57公斤)重。它那孤獨(dú)又年邁的女主人把它當(dāng)成最好的朋友,和它一起進(jìn)餐,無(wú)論是外賣還是傳統(tǒng)的周日烤肉大餐。
A Dogs Trust centre took Cassie in when the lady fell ill last year - putting her on a new diet and fitness regime. And now clever Cassie has lost half her body weight and is back to her bounding healthiest.
去年女主人生病了,于是一家愛犬托付中心接管了Cassie。他們?yōu)樗才帕艘粋€(gè)全新的節(jié)食減肥計(jì)劃。聰明的Cassie如今已減去一半體重,恢復(fù)到良好的健康狀態(tài)。

要是看到這張照片,你還有掏出堅(jiān)果喂這只肥仔的沖動(dòng)的話——你一定是瘋了。但是來(lái)加州的游客們?nèi)匀灰灰娝臀故?。照片的拍攝者M(jìn)arina van der Linden是在摩洛巖石保護(hù)區(qū)(圣巴巴拉市附近)看到這只巨大生物的。
She said: "I got out a bag of peanuts and suddenly I saw a family of squirrels. "It was hilarious because they were all quite big but there was one that was enormous. I think it’s because they get well fed by tourists."
她說(shuō)道:“我先是拿出了一袋花生,接著,我看到了一個(gè)松鼠家族。那場(chǎng)景很有趣,因?yàn)樗鼈內(nèi)叶己芊剩瞧渲腥杂兄环实靡?。我估?jì)是因?yàn)橛慰蛡儼阉鼈兾沟锰昧恕!?/div>
