Chunky monkeys swing into shape
A Japanese zoo has successfully put a group of monkeys through a dramatic weight-loss program after the animals became morbidly obese.
About a third of the rhesus monkeys in the Osaka zoo were considered obese.
One male even topped the scales at 30 kilograms, which is about three times the animal's healthy weight.
Zoo officials say the monkeys packed on the kilograms after being fed fatty snacks by visitors.
After a strict diet program and a ban on rubbish food, all but 10 of the animals are down to a healthy weight.
The heaviest has trimmed down to 17 kilograms, but zoo staff say it now has a problem with excess skin.
