Thats fat their bodies are designed to carry, they are not obese for their species. Obese animals in captivity experience the same issues as humans who are over weight. A walrus has a lot of fat but it’s in proportion and the correct amount of fat for that creature, it is not “fat” in the obese or overweight way
