that makes no sense!. elephants aren't fat, they are proportional, and lions are muscular because of all the exercise they do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bone structure!. It is hard for an animal that has the bone size and structure like the elephants, rhino's and hippo's to look anything but fat simply because they have such large bones!.
A lion, tiger, or other predator is slim, simply because the bone structure is smaller, they are more athletic because of the need to hunt and chase, and ultimately capture food which is living, and in general, not always slow itself!.
On the other hand, vegaetaion does not tend to be able to move that fast, so the need for speed in an elephant/rhino/hippo is not that great, plus they don't tend to have too many predators because of their sheer size!.
The lack of natural predators is shown by the length of the pregnancy of each animal!.
An animal with a short life expectancy breeds faster and in greater numbers than animals like the elephant etc, simply because they need to, to keep their species going!.

Lions utilise the proteins in meat as their major source of energy, whereas we would use carbs!. A lion's digestive system is far more adapted to coping with meat thana humans!. We were originally fruit eaters and do not cope well with digesting large quantities of meat!. Also, animals will only eat when they need to!. Lions may only eat two or three times a week, People eat to excess because they like the taste of the food!. A herbivore, such as an elephant, needs to eat huge quantities of food to get the necessary nutrients to sustain itself!. And as nearly everyone else has said, elephants are not fat!. They are large, well built animals!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Every thin is bad if the consumption is too great for your metabolism!. Meat is not bad if ate in moderation!. Elephants are naturally large and have a slow metabolism in order to take the needed nutriants from the food they eat!. Lions on the other hand have a fast metabolism ensuring the quicker rotting meat travels through their system quicker!. So in answer to your question it has very little to do with being good or bad more to do with genetics and matabolism!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That would be because it's their natural build!. an elephant isn't fat!.!. it's simply LARGE!. Lions aren't skinny, they are lean and packed with muscles (protein from meats)!. Each of their body' types fits their way of life!. lions need to be lean and muscley for hunting prey, and running fast!. Elephants need to be able to store fats for energy, because they don't hunt and only have what mother nature give them!. Scavengers never know when they will have their next decent meal, so their body's pack away as much of it as they can in order to have a ready supply of energy and nutrients!.!. should they need it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think elephants are fat, they are just big!. Lions are slim because they eat the right amount of meat--total calories less or equal to what they burn off!. If they eat a lot of fatty meat they still might get high cholesterol and coronary problems, stay slim and die of a heart attack!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Healthy elephants ARNT fat, they appear fat but really thats the way they are made to be!. Lions are carnivores so the meats fat wouldnt affect them and the wild animals they have are excerised and lean and not fatty, the animals we eat from factory farms are FAT!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
