Chubby caracals have become popular online

Caracals from the Wannan Zoo in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, have attracted the attention of internet users. People were concerned about the animals' excess weight.

Following a wave of health concerns, they underwent a further examination. Ultimately, the caracals were declared completely healthy and did not require any dieting. The big cats' plumpness was attributed to the shedding season, which causes their fur to become especially fluffy, and also to the fact that they lazily lie around during the day, making them appear even rounder. Their diet, he added, is "really very good," with regular beef and other protein foods.
