Obese Otter

Wild Library

Hey! Kai, Do you know what you look like? You look terrible!! You need to lose weight!

She said it and showed him the mirror so he could check his body.

Once upon a time, there are a manatee and an otter. The manatee's name was Mana, and the otter's name was Kai. They were really good friends.

Then, he realized how unhealthy he had been.

So now, he decided to lose weight. Mana also helped him...

They swam a lot and ate healthy things. As long as they worked and exercised hard, his weight dropped and he started to look like he did before he became obese.

She couldn't believe what she saw! To calm down herself, she ran away to her home at once.

Then, she promised herself that she would make Kai to lose weight. She went back to where they met.

It was enough to make Mana strongly sure that he was being unhealthy.

She was prepared to some extent, but it gave a big shock to her.

- In fact, the giant river otters and manatees are do not have mutualism ( live together).

- Usually, otters don't live individually. They live with families. (small communities)

Finally, Kai could lost the unhealthy weight and looked as same as before, thanks to his friend, Mana.

Kai liked to eat fish and crustaceans, so he was eating them all day. 

Mana noticed it, but she didn't warn him that he was eating too much.

But one day, Mana decided to warn him and visit Kai.

Kai became mountainous; he was outstandingly overweight. His tummy was like a big ball! His looks had changed so much.
