You can see he's completely full, the male he's compared to has an entire strip of fat down his whole midsection especially towards his hindquarters where they generally taper. There's a difference between a belly fold which all males get, especially as they age from years of stomach distension compared to layers of fat which exist from overweight males. You're using the term "bulky" instead of overweight, but it's all the same. That male holds more fat due to the benefits of a private reserve. You see the same tendency in cattle killers as well. 
Easy prey and living conditions = fatter cats. Reply
