These Animals Prove That Being Chubby Makes You That Much Cuter

Animals are adorable in their own way, but these animals' chubbiness elevates their cuteness to a higher level. Whether they're sassy cats that are way too big for their own good or tigers that are really taking advantage of the free food at the zoo, these cute and chubby animals have more to love!

Otters are undoubtedly some of the cutest animals on the planet. They collect their favorite rocks, hold hands when they sleep, and they mate for life. What's cuter than that? The answer is a chubby otter. Look at this one as it runs in the pouring rain in search of its next meal.

While most squirrels spend the majority of the year finding and hiding away acorns and nut for the winter, this squirrel had a different plan. It looks like this one decided to eat whatever they could find instead of storing it for later. It's a bold strategy, but we hope it worked out.

It looks like this little penguin let himself go when he got to the zoo. All of that free fish is really doing a number on his figure, but there's no turning back now. We're sure the zookeepers are getting him on the right track.

Goats are all-around amazing animals. They are smart, cute, and have incredible climbing abilities. However, after a goat reaches a specific weight, their ability to climb decreases considerably. It looks like this goat isn't going to be jumping up any hills or mountains anytime soon!

Raccoons are sneaky animals that are not picky when it comes to food. They're known trash can divers and will eat their fill given a chance. It appears that this raccoon scored the jackpot in his neighborhood and found a can with a full families Thanksgiving leftovers. He certainly didn't have any leftovers.

Being overweight seems to go against every foxes nature. They need to be quick, sneaky, and small enough to fit inside their underground burrows. However, it looks like these foxes don't have to worry about any of that. They're likely domesticated and spend their days eating, moseying around, and enjoying a carefree life.

Bears are big animals; there's no getting around it. This bear looks unusually large, especially as it sits almost human-like on the top of his exhibit. For the people below, it might be a little bit concerning to see all of that weight sitting directly above their heads!

This bird let himself go, and by the look in his eyes, he knows it! He seems to be in the middle of an internal dilemma whether to eat the rest of the food in his bowl or to try and get back into shape. This shows that it isn't just people who struggle to maintain their weight.

Being a sea lion in captivity isn't a bad life. They don't have to worry about sharks, they get fed all of the time, and they have the time to lie around and enjoy the sun. This is the outcome of all those luxuries and these sea lions don't seem too bummed about it.

Again, sea lions prove that life in captivity isn't too bad! This guy spends his day relaxing and eating all the fish he wants while being safe from predators. Sure, his lifestlye may have contributed to him packing on a few pounds, but we think it makes him cuter!

This baby rabbit is almost too cute for words. Sure, he's a little chubby, but we think he just hasn't shed the baby fat yet. If one thing's for sure, we've never wanted to hold an animal more in our lives.

This overweight frog's name is Casper. He's so fat that his whole body jiggles when he swims. While this may seem a little sad, at least we know that he's making the most out of his life in his tank. Somebody should as call Guinness and weigh this guy for a world record.

This bird looks like he may have eaten one too many stary french fries in the park. We'd be impressed if this bird can still fly. However, at least it looks like he's in a protected area so it doesn't have to worry about outflying a predator.

When we think about tigers, we tend to picture majestic, strong animals that are the apex predator. We're not sure exactly what happened to this tiger, but it looks like they've put on some pounds over the years. Even though this tiger may be more on the round side, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be any less respectful of it.

This dog is the essence of comfortable. It looks like his size only makes napping that much more comfortable. He clearly knows the best spot on the couch for the ultimate nap too. The only thing that will probably get him up from his snooze is some kind of treat. We want to spend our days this way too!

This is one chubby little dog! He can't help that it will eat anything that's put in front of him so now he looks like he does. We're sure he's a happy dog although it may not look like it in the picture. All he needs is some more walks and less food to whip him back into shape.

We're not sure what would be worse — running into a normal size mountain lion or this one in the wild. That is a wild cat that should be respected and handled with care. We wonder how much it has to eat a day to sustain that size.

Possibly the cutest little chubby animal on our list is this little tiger. Not only is he cute in size, but he's got a serious attitude. Don't even bothering interacting with him unless you have some food for him or he may attack!

Beavers are busy animals. Continually working on their dams, finding food, mating, and of course, hiding from predators and trappers. However, it looks like this beaver has been skipping out on his duties in favor of spending time eating and laying around. It's surprising he can be picked up!

Fat cats are not all that uncommon, but this cat lets it all hang out. He's accepted he's got more to love and now welcomes it. Cats usually don't leave themselves exposed like this, but this cat looks comfortable enough not to care anymore. His lazy demeanor is quite unlike this next cat you're about to see.

Okay, maybe he's a Siberian Husky or maybe he's an Alaskan Malamute, but you can't deny the floof on this one! This guy has a lot of love to offer and a lot of fur to go with it. This guy probably enjoys an extra scoop of food every now and then which is probably why he's so chubby.

This squirrel ran up to some people, possibly hoping that they were good samaritans who would toss him a couple of nuts. After all, he has to start storing food and start bulking up for winter! It might not be wrong to assume that this guy digs into his stash a little earlier than he should though.

Friendship knows no bounds. Size and species are nothing for these two pals. THis loving chihuahua would love nothing more than to sunbathe in the window for a nice siesta with his lovable chubby pig. They're most likely the best of friends and have each other's backs no matter what.

This baby hippo was born with a little chunk and it is too adorable! Baby hippos weight around 100 pounds when they're born, so it's no wonder that they're chubby! This little guy was likely getting assistance from a caring handler since baby hippos don't know how to swim.

This tiger might be taking advantage of the food wherever he lives. We're guessing he's at a zoo or a sanctuary, and what better gig is there? They get fed regularly by some kind hoomans that unfortunately do not count as food. Even without them though, these tigers get to eat a lot and then some.

This young sloth is excited to be living life, so much so that he is enjoying every last bite! It's clear to see based on his chubby tummy, but it only adds to his adorableness. He'll likely lose all that baby fat as an adult when he'll inevitably be moved to his natural habitat in the trees.

This toad has a little extra on the sides but that's okay. We still think he's as cute as ever! This is actually an Indonesian White's Tree Frog. Their little fat rolls make them reminiscent of Jabba the Hut, except you actually want to cuddle them. Don't be fooled by how close up this picture is! They only grow to about four inches long.
