This monkey will have to become the king of the slimmers to lose his huge belly after ballooning to twice his normal weight.
Wildlife officials went ape when they saw long-tailed macaque “Uncle Fatty”, who weighs a whopping 15kg.
He had gorged on melons, milkshakes, sweetcorn and noodles fed to him by visitors to a floating market in Bangkok, Thailand.
Uncle Fatty has now been rescued and taken for a health check and monkey ‘fat camp’ to try to reduce his weight to a more acceptable 8kg - normal for his species.
Thai primate conservation group ‘Monkey Lovers’ said today that Uncle was not sick - he was just fat - and wanted him returned to his friends.
Organiser Kawinoat MongKholtechaphat said: “Uncle has got fat because he has just been eating everything that people give to him.
“He’s not sick, he just needs helps. He likes eating and there are lots of visitors and tourists who give him food all day.”
Kawinoat said that Uncle played an important role in the community of monkeys that roam free around the market in the Bang Khun Thian district.
He added: “He’s a leader to the younger monkeys. He teaches them important things, how to survive.
“He’s old now and likes to sit around eating a lot. We want the monkeys to stay roaming free outside where they are happy.”
The National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation have now transferred Uncle to a Nakhon Nayok wildlife rescue center some 100 miles away where he will receive health checks.
The chubby monkey will also be put on a strict diet - and made to run and swing around with other animals to lose weight.
Kanjana Nittaya said: “We believe the monkey is suffering from obesity because a great number of people come there and feed it. It is probably just sitting there and overeating.”
Thailand is home to hundreds of thousands of wild monkeys including gibbon, macaque, langur and loris, that roam free and are popular with tourists.

    Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to shut down news network Al Jazeera following the passage Monday of a  sweeping law  allowing the government to ban foreign networks perceived as posing a threat to national security. Netanyahu said he intended “to act immediately in accordance with the new law” to stop the Qatari-based news outlet’s activity in the country, according to a post on social media platform X following the passage of the law. Al Jazeera Media Network, which has produced dogged, on the ground reporting of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza,  slammed the decision  in a statement, vowing it would not stop the network from continuing its “bold and professional coverage.” The new law gives the prime minister and communications minister authority to order the temporary closure of foreign networks operating in Israel – powers that rights groups say could have far-reaching implications on international media coverage of...

Kamala Harris Has More Billionaires Openly Backing Her Than Trump (But Many Are Staying Silent)

By -

  Trump and Harris during their September presidential debate. Forbes found at least 100 billionaires in the corners of either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris—with many more backing Harris—but unlike the world’s richest man Elon Musk, who stumps extensively on Trump’s behalf, many have elected to watch from the sidelines, like Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg. Key Facts Our breakdown records 76 billionaires supporting Harris and 49 backing Trump so far (see the lists for both below). Many more billionaires may still financially back a candidate, but their donations won’t be learned until after the election, when final Federal Election Commission reports are issued in December. Billionaires leaning toward Harris may seem incongruous, since she often criticizes Trump for advocating for policies favorable toward billionaires—but there are practical reasons why the ultra wealthy may favor Harris. A  letter  signed by more than a dozen billionai...
