Some of the clip was on the news today. Walrus doing some kind of pushups and crunches, dog jumping rope with trainer, and pigs eating (eating healthier!) - from San Diego Sea World.
[quote]With "losing weight" being a popular New Year's resolution for many people, even SeaWorld San Diego animals are chilling out and losing those excess holiday pounds. It's all about diet and exercise.
But how many push-ups can a walrus really do? Not very many but that doesn't stop SeaWorld's star walrus, Seahook, from trying to break her previous record of two push-ups. Now she's going for three. She even does her "crunches." Show off.
Meanwhile, bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales weigh in to check their progress. At Pets Rule!, a border collie and his trainer jump rope for some aerobic exercise while Hammy the pig and his workout partners enjoy a more health-conscience diet of watermelon and fruit salad.
Not to be left out of a dieter's dream, SeaWorld's manatees at Manatee Rescue maintain their svelte figures by eating their leafy greens.[/quote]
