An animal can be both obese and malnourished. True or False?

True
False

The correct answer is: True

An animal can indeed be both obese and malnourished, making the answer true. This condition can occur when an animal consumes excessive amounts of food but lacks the essential nutrients required for proper health. For instance, an animal may eat a high-calorie diet that is rich in fats and sugar but deficient in vital vitamins, minerals, and protein. As a result, the animal may accumulate excess body weight (obesity) while simultaneously suffering from deficiencies that lead to malnutrition. This paradox highlights the complexity of nutrition and underscores the importance of not just calorie intake but also the quality of the diet in maintaining an animal's overall health.
