As the name suggests, the Instagram page ‘Chonky Posts’ is dedicated to animals who might look a little rounder than the rest. Sometimes that extra “chonky” charm simply comes from nature itself – think hippos, bears, or even bumblebees. And let’s be honest, for those of us who love animals and the natural world, these creatures are absolutely adorable, and we can never get enough of them.
The page also features plenty of domesticated pets like cats and dogs, along with other furry friends shared by the community. In some cases, their round appearance is just part of their breed or stage of life – like fluffy kittens still growing into their paws. In others, it might simply be a moment captured at the perfect (and funniest) angle.
Either way, the account has built a large following of people who can’t resist wholesome, chuckle-worthy animal content. Scroll down to see a selection of the cutest and most delightfully chonky photos we’ve picked for you today.

This is the opposite of safe. Damaging the dog's spine will be the fist thing that the seatbelt does even after hard braking, not necessarily a car crashm
"We call him Pancake and eventually gave in and bought another pan for cooking."
Oh god, poor baby- I don't know much about dog seatbelts, but surely that's dangerous? And I'm hoping this is a soon-to-be Momma, given the nipples, but I don't know how to tell. All "chonky" pets make me sad, but seeing more lively, active breeds like this makes me extra sad.
Unless they're A) neutered male cats that appear fatter than they are because of sagging belly, or B) appear fat but it's actually fluid build up from a heart condition (happened with some of my pet rats).

I don’t understand any of it. Overfeeding a pet continually. Seeing it getting larger and larger, and the struggles that go with it, and not doing anything about it. Worse still, thinking it’s cute. Having no shame about the harm caused to the pet. Actually posting pictures on the internet for others to see, like there’s nothing wrong with it and that the owner had nothing to do with it.
Load More Replies...One day I looked at my cat & asked her how she got chunky because she's not getting human food or anything else. Well, she got fat because she figured out how to work her auto feeder. I had notifications turned off so I never knew there was extra activity. Due to hectic life, I didn't realize I was filling the auto feeder more than I should have needed to...she was not happy when I caught on and the auto feeder was was replaced with a bowl.
