Morbidly obese monkey Uncle Fat on a diet after gorging on junk food

Uncle Fat tips the scales at around 60lb.

A morbidly obese wild monkey who gorged himself on junk food and soft drinks left behind by tourists has been rescued and placed on a strict diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables.

Wildlife officials caught the chunky monkey - nicknamed "Uncle Fat" by locals at a market in Bangkok - after photos of the animal started circulating on social media last month.
