We love the chonk. We love the squishy, soft, safety it provides. It's undeniably the best to cuddle with a chonky pet, and it also keeps you and your furry friend warm in this chilly December. Chonk gets a lot of hate recently, but some pets were just born a little chonky, and they just want to live their lives the best way they can. Not every pet needs to be fit enough to run a marathon (we're looking at you, Steve), some are happy to be chonky and lay around on the couch all day. Honestly, same. #chonklife

We brought you an exceptional array of animals this time, including chonky cats, slippery seals, and many other chonk-alicious animals from all over the world. We think you'll be surprised by some of our selection, including some chunky animal booties and a predator that looks more like a potato than a ferocious hunter. Does your pet qualify as chonky? Are you letting them embrace the chonk life?

This artist deserves fame and fortune. Contact The Louvre! Call the MoMa! Perhaps they should be criminal sketch artist. But now on to our chonky model - so voluptuous, so poised, so adorable! She didn't choose the chonk life, the chonk life chose her.

We're not sure why but this chonky frog swimming in his bathtub is adorbs af. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…gotta burn some calories. Actually he doesn't, he wears his chonk well and it's winter time, we need a bit of chonk to keep us warm!
