A chunky monkey in Thailand is getting a much-needed health cleanse.<\/p>\n

The 3-year-old primate, aptly named Godzilla, had been spotted in the Min Buri district of Bangkok, where diners at a streetside eatery would gather to catch a glimpse of the massive macaque \u2014 and feed him junk food, naturally.<\/p>\n

Footage obtained by Viral Press shows a leashed Godzilla slumped behind the market counter amid a pile of plush toys and a baby bottle filled with a milky substance. <\/p>\n

Clocking in at more than 44 pounds, he is about twice the size of a typical adult macaque. <\/p>\n

But this wasn\u2019t just a case of him putting on a few extra layers during the pandemic, as other pets and humans have been wont to do. <\/p>\n

Godzilla, a macaque monkey from Bangkok, is being sent to \u201cfat camp\u201d after ballooning to 44 pounds \u2014 twice that of a typical adult of his species.<\/figcaption>

Godzilla\u2019s keeper, Manop, who runs the Min Buri food stand, reportedly exercises him daily \u2014 to no avail. <\/p>\n

Manop told Viral Press that she had adopted the overweight animal after he was abandoned by his previous owner, who allowed Godzilla to become morbidly obese. But her failure to help the monkey slim down prompted her to send Godzilla to rehab for weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rescue team found Godzilla when he was very small,\u201d said Manop. \u201cAnd since he grew up being fed by humans, he does not know how to find food on his own in the wild.\u201d<\/p>\n

Godzilla\u2019s app<\/a>etite for junk food is insatiable, despite having all the healthy, fresh fruit he could want, according to Manop. He\u2019s also known for being a tyrant, even when there\u2019s food on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bring Godzilla with me to the market where I can look after him. I don\u2019t like him to be on his own because he gets stressed,\u201d said Manop. \u201cHe only eats from people he likes. He\u2019s very fussy and can get angry if he doesn\u2019t like the person.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the looks of it, Godzilla must have more than a few people he likes.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
