Osaka’s overweight monkeys are losing weight

June 5th, 2009 by James

It’s been about a year since the disgustingly overweight monkeys at Ohama park in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture started a special diet. Fuji TV has an update on how they’re doing:


The park will soon open a new monkey enclosure. The enclosure will have much more space in which the monkeys can exercise.

Park staff checked the weight of the monkeys and discovered that the diet has been having a positive effect. The fattest monkey, who weighted 29.2 kilograms two years ago now weights a mere 17.5 kilograms!

I’m waiting for Mary to chime in and comment that she’s wants a fat monkey.
