A morbidly obese wild Macaque was captured in a suburb of Bangkok, Thailand, and put on a "strict diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables," the AP reports. The chunky monkey, who locals dubbed "Uncle Fat," spent his time gorging on junk food and soda left over from tourists, who are known to feed and play with the wild monkeys in the region. When captured, Uncle Fat weighed in at roughly 60 pounds, or three times the size of most healthy Macaques, who typically only weigh around 20 pounds. Kacha Phukem, the wildlife official that managed to capture the monkey in late April, told AP that Uncle Fat did not give up the fight easily. "He was the leader of his pack, and when I tried to go in, I had to fight off a flock of them with sticks." According to Supakarn Kaewchot, the vet in charge of Uncle Fat's diet, the chubby ring-leader even had a system in place where "minions" would deliver food to him. After word and photos of Uncle Fat began to circulate on social media, people were quick to chime in, identifying with the fat monkey. "My autobiography has been published," one user wrote, linking to an article about Uncle Fat, while another said, "This is me after stress eating during deadlines week." And while most people can easily joke and relate to feeling like a photo of Uncle Fat after one too many cookies, the monkey's obesity poses a real threat to his health. "After he ate food given by humans for a while, he developed a fat mass, which became a type of benign tumor," Supakarn said. "He is now in critical condition where there is a high risk of heart disease and diabetes." Hopefully, with some TLC, exercise and a healthy diet, Uncle Fat will get fit and be released back into the wild in a few months.
