The Macaca mulatta monkeys who make their home in a Japanese wildlife park are really fat. As in so fat that approximately one-third of their population have trouble moving around. Picture Homer Simpson after a few more pizzas and Duff beers and you'll start to get an idea of just how fat these monkeys have gotten. And it's not due to an abundance of bananas in their habitat either. Tourists are actually the culprits taking the blame for the grotesque obesity of these creatures since they're the ones who have been overfeeding the animals.

Now the monkeys are being paid a visit by their local Weight Watchers representative. Alright, maybe not exactly Weight Watchers, but they have been put on a strict diet by officials at Ohama park in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture. While they may not be forced to buy overpriced diet plan food or hit the treadmill on a daily basis, the monkeys will be restricted as to what they can eat and kiss the days of tourist treats goodbye.
