An obese monkey kept at a Thai market has ballooned to a dangerous size after being thrown junk food by passersby.
The three-year-old primate, named Godzilla, has drawn comparisons with the late Uncle Fatty, a long-tailed macaque who is believed to have eaten himself to death.
Godzilla was seen earlier this month in the Min Buri district of Bangkok, where visitors crowded over the stall where the monkey sat and attempted to feed it.
In a video, the male monkey, which is tied to the stall, can be seen wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt.
Godzilla flops onto a cushion while a visitor rubs his back. The macaque then gnaws at a plastic water bottle before hurling it away.

Godzilla's weight has now ballooned to more than 20kgs - almost as heavy as Uncle Fatty, who tipped the scales at 27kg and was believed to be between 10 and 15 years old.
Macaques normally weigh between eight and 10 kilos.
