'Fat Cat Island' Kaminone Island, Japan
by Earth Observer
In Japan there is an island that people think looks like a fat cat when rotated. This island is actually called Kaminone Island located in the Tokara Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture. This discovery was pointed out by Twitter user @ai6yrham https://twitter.com/ai6yrham/status/1582097915475959808 What do you think? Should this island be renamed to Fat Cat Island / "太った猫島"?
