webfact Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 'Fat' macaque undergoing health check By The Nation Photo from @js100 Radio BANGKOK: -- A long-tailed macaque has caught the attention of officials for “being fat”. “Our team headed out to check on it because we received reports about a fat macaque in Bangkok’s Bang Khun Thien area,” Kanjana Nittaya, a senior official at the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, said on Thursday. The team spotted the monkey near a floating market and found it to be really fat. The macaque was given a sedative shot and brought to a wildlife rescue centre in Nakhon Nayok province, where it would undergo a comprehensive health check. The macaque weighs 15 kilos, much higher than the average of between 8-10 kilos. “We believe it is suffering from obesity because a great number of people come there and feed it. It is probably just sitting there and overeating,” Kanjana said.

mikebell Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Do they test Thai policemen for obesity? A symptom is an inability to get off one's ars unless galvanised by the scent of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
