Supersize skunk slims

A SUPERSIZE skunk who piled on the pounds because of a love of bacon sandwiches has slimmed down after being put on a strict diet.

Mr Bumble lost 4.4lb (2kg) on a strict diet and exercise regime.

The two-year-old skunk was given to Tropiquaria Zoo, at Washford Cross, Somerset, in September.

His previous owners could no longer care for him and handed him over to the RSPCA.

Park owner Chris Moiser said Mr Bumble weighed one stone (6.8kg) when he first arrived and needed to lose 5-6lb (2.2-2.7kg).
