A Chinese zoo has abandoned efforts to help an over weight leopard lose weight after two months of no progress. The Panzhihua Park Zoo`s leopard is dubbed `China`s Officer Clawhauser` after a character from Disney`s Zoo topia.

Concerns about the leopard`s health prompted the zoo to attempt weight loss measures. However, the 16-yearold leopard, equivalent to 60-70 human years, showed no improvement despite a strict diet and increased space for exercise.The zoo announced it would stop the weight loss efforts, emphasising that the leopard, though obese, is healthy and happy.
