An obese monkey kept at a market in Thailand ballooned to a dangerous size after being given junk food by passersby. Godzilla was seen earlier this month in the Min Buri district of Bangkok, where visitors crowded over the stall where the monkey sat and attempted to feed it.
Shopkeeper Manop said she adopted Godzilla after he was abandoned by the stall’s previous owner. She said she feeds the monkey and treats him well but has not been able to keep his weight under control. “The rescue team found Godzilla when he was very small. And since he grew up being fed by humans, he does not know how to find food on his own in the wild,” Manop said.
Godzilla’s weight has now increased to more than 20kg. Manop says Godzilla does exercise every morning but still hasn’t been able to lose weight. The monkey does not like strangers touching them will start to behave wildly if it does not like the person.
“I bring Godzilla with me to the market where I can look after him. I don’t like him to be on his own. He will stressed up. A lot of people give Godzilla food but he only eats from people he likes. He’s very fussy and can get angry if he doesn’t like the person.”
