The curious case of the criminally corpulent chimp

HAVE you heard of a wild monkey so impossibly fat that it has been described by veterinarians as “morbidly obese”?

There but for the grace of gymnasiums go we. According to Bangkok’s Associated Press bureau, said ape became overweight owing to a steady diet of junk food and soda left him by kindly tourists thinking the poor fellow was looking starved. It has since been caught and, much to its chagrin, placed on a strict diet of lean protein, fruits, nuts and vegetables.
