The Shocking Truth Behind Uncle Fatty, the Overfed Monkey #shocking #monkey #truth #shorts

Uncle Fatty eventually came to the attention of wildlife officials who'd received reports from concerned locals, and he was rescued and taken for a health checkup. According to Kavinaphat Mongkoltechachat, the organizer of Thai primate conservation group Monkey Lovers, Uncle wasn't sick, just overfed. He was then taken to a monkey-fed camp to try and reduce his weight back down to an acceptable 8 to 10 kilograms, which is more normal for his species. Because he's around 20 years old, Uncle placed an important role in the community of local monkeys as a natural leader. Although he still weighed a formidable 24.75 kilograms in August 2017, and hadn't quite shifted the overhanging belly, he'd shed an impressive 2 kilograms, about 8% of his body mass, meaning his condition had improved enough for him to be back roaming the streets.

I seriously doubt he played ANY ROLE in the monkey community!!! No monkeys came around him, and his non-stop eating kept him from interacting with anyone who was not ACTIVELY FEEDING HIM at the moment!!!
