Not only us, dolphins are put on diet too!

Back in Hong Kong where I grew up, diet and keeping fit is a daily routine for majority of people. I can still recall some of my friends saying that "looking good and staying healthy are their full time job"!

So much so that diet has becomes such a daily topic, in the office, on TV, at home...it sure sounds like dieting / keeping fit is a major issue we need to look into nowadays.

Well...not only us, the human beings who try to fight for better health, appearance and longevity...even dolphins are put on diet now!

According to goldcoast.com.au, "DOLPHINS at a Japanese marine park are going on a low-fat diet after developing pot bellies and failing to look sharp in their aquatic performances."

All of the 19 dolphins at the Japanese Marine Park - Kinosaki Marine World, are put on diet since Auguest, after failing to meet their performance targets.

Poor dolphins, even they have to look sharp these days! Well...the keepers seem to be happy with the progress, that less fat and moderate exercise are getting them back to the previous glory!
