Chunky monkey cuts out the junk

A morbidly obese wild monkey who gorged himself on junk food and soda from tourists has been rescued and placed on a strict diet. The chunky monkey, nicknamed “Uncle Fat” by locals, is now eating lean protein, fruit and vegetables at a rehabilitation center in Thailand. Most urban wild monkeys in Thailand are macaques, and they typically weigh around 9 kg. Uncle Fat tipped the scales on Friday at around 26 kg.
