When you see those signs that say “Don’t feed the animals,” they are there for a reason. It is important not to feed the animals! Seems like common sense, right? One monkey in Thailand has become obese because of overfeeding and it has become an internet sensation. The 20-year-old macaque has been living off of scraps from the locals and tourists in the Bang Khun Thian district.
He has been eating things like noodles and milkshakes. I am no primate expert, but I do know that milkshakes are NOT a good thing for them to eat (they are not all that great for humans)!
The macaque has been nicknamed “Uncle Fatty” and weighs twice as much as your average macaque. According to reports, Uncle Fatty has been removed from that area and placed in a more suitable environment.
