An obese monkey found gorging on junk food fed to it by market visitors has been rescued and sent to fat camp.
The three-year-old macaque named Godzilla ballooned to 20kg - more than double the normal weight for monkeys - after being tied to a stall and given treats in Bangkok, Thailand.
Video emerged this week of the podgy primate sparking fears for its health due to its resemblance to the late ’Uncle Fatty’ who died in 2019 after being ’killed with kindness’ by being fed by humans.
Wildlife officials visited the market in the Min Buri district of the Thai capital on March 25 afternoon and Godzilla was carried away in a cage.
Staff will now send Godzilla to the equivalent of a ’fat camp’, where he will be put on a strict diet, made to exercise and toughened up ready for a return to the wild.
