Chubby armadillo goes on diet to work off post-holiday bulge

Drusillas Park, a zoo and aquarium in England, posted an adorable photo on its Facebook page of Gretel, who, like many of us, packed on a bit of extra weight over the holidays.

According to the post, Gretel has a tendency to put on weight, despite being on a healthy diet that consists of locusts, mealworms, eggs, rice and vegetables.

Now zoo personnel are designing Gretel a workout regimen to burn off extra calories.

Drusillas Park is confident that carefully watching her diet and giving Gretel more exercise will take off the extra weight, adding, “We think she’s adorable at any size!”
