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.
