World’s Fattest Monkey, Godzilla, Passes Away Due to Weight-Related Health Issues

Godzilla, the world’s fattest monkey, tragically passes away due to weight-related health issues despite efforts to help him lose weight at a fat camp. Despite shedding four kilograms, the morbidly obese primate faced health problems like thyroid disease, diabetes, and Cushing’s syndrome, ultimately leading to his untimely death. Dr. Supasek Sarachitti expressed his sentiments, saying, ‘Let’s send Godzilla to heaven.’ Keeping a monkey as a pet is illegal under Thailand’s wildlife laws, and Godzilla was initially found chained up in a market where he was fed high-sugar treats.
