He was regularly handed his favorite treats like melons, milkshakes, sweetcorn, and noodles by visitors at a floating market in Bangkok, Thailand.

And as the leader of his pack, he would also often commandeer snacks from other monkeys.

His pack fought with workers to stop him from being taken away and Thai primate conservation group “Monkey Lovers” wanted him returned to his friends promptly because he was not sick and was the leader.

He reportedly lost 2kg at a fat camp at the Nakhon Nayok wildlife rescue center in May 2017. But the morbidly obese monkey relapsed later in the year before suddenly disappearing.

It is thought he was last seen alive in February 2019. “We decided to search there the following week but still couldn’t find him.” The chunky monkey’s body has never been found.
