Obese Rhesus monkey

An obese Rhesus monkey eats at Ohama park in Sakai, near Osaka. Since June 2007, the park has cut down on the amount of food being fed to the monkeys from 10 kg (22 lbs) per day to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) because the monkeys have become overweight. The park is also planning to build a fence to prevent visitors from throwing food to the monkeys, a park office worker said.
