An obese monkey in Thailand is being sent to a fat camp after ballooning to twice the normal weight for his species - by gorging on food from tourists.

The 33lb long-tailed macaque - nicknamed 'Uncle Fatty' - had been getting fed sugary melons, milkshakes, sweetcorn and noodles, by visitors to a floating water market in Bangkok.

He developed an enormous belly before wildlife officials who received reports from concerned locals spotted him this week.

Uncle Fatty has now been rescued and taken for a health check and monkey 'fat camp' to try and reduce his weight to a more acceptable 17.5lb - normal for his species.

What's that purple thing in the ground? Is Uncle Fatty a sodomite?

So they did hire that girl in Texas for the waitress job after all ...

It's one of those buttplugs full of jello they sell at 711 in Thailand.

It sickens me that in [current year] we still have the audacity as a species to fat-shame not only ourselves but our evolutionary kin, much less involuntarily imprison this creature and forcibly alter his chosen lifestyle.

FAT SHAMING MUST END! BEAUTIFUL AT ANY SIZE!

Did they just assume his species?

Would make a great pet for Lindy West!

I'm disappointed this isn't actually about some fat feminist.

It's not? heck it looks better than half the ones people post about here.

Why the need for a health check? Just because it's genetically predisposed to being a little larger than its peers?

I have more sympathy for this monkey that I do some of these gross ass feminist.

It's amusing that concerned locals were worried about Uncle Fatty, but not his buddy in the background who looks as round as a football.

Also, since he's even fatter than that other monkey, Uncle Fatty obviously gets first dibs on all the food, which means that the reason he is so obese could actually be that...he's the alpha male. All the females probably have to mate with him.
What a twist, nature's cruel.

American Food for any species.. Dangerous!

That is hands down the fattest monkey I have ever seen. They should put him on a keto diet.
