These photos give a whole new meaning to the term 'fat cat'.

這些照片重新定義了“肥貓”。

人民日報網(wǎng)發(fā)布了一組在哈爾濱動物園內(nèi)無所事事的肥嘟嘟的東北虎照片。

雖然有許多人關(guān)心這些老虎是否體形過大，但是想要在寒冷的哈爾濱過冬，吃下過多的食物是不可避免的事情。

一些社交媒體用戶開玩笑說這些老虎是在春節(jié)吃多了——在中國春節(jié)期間通常會有豐盛的美味佳肴。

Some social media users have joked that the cats were a little over-indulgent over China's Spring Festival, which revolves around⑤revolve around 圍繞……轉(zhuǎn)動；以……為中心a run of excessive⑥excessive 英 [?k'ses?v; ek-] 美 [?k's?s?v]adj. 過多的，極度的；過分的family feasts⑦feast 英 [fi ?st] 美 [fist]vt. 享受；款待，宴請n. 筵席，宴會；節(jié)日vi. 享受；參加宴會.

然而哈爾濱虎（東北虎）正是以“世界上體形最為龐大的貓科動物”而聞名的。

最近被拍照的這些哈爾濱的東北虎將會在夏季恢復(fù)常規(guī)體重。

哈爾濱的六月至八月氣溫將會有所回升，大約在21攝氏度。

哈爾濱東北虎公園是目前世界上最大的野生東北虎自然公園，占地約144萬平方米。
