“Oshine shot to fame as Britain’s fattest orangutan, but now she is king of the slimmers after ditching her diet of sweets, jelly and marshmallows. The chubby primate originally weighed in at 210lbs, with her lifestyle as a pet for 13 years in South Africa thought to be the reason for her obesity. After arriving at Monkey World in Dorset last year Oshine found herself on a strict diet, cutting out unhealthy snacks in favour of a more healthy diet of fruit, vegetables and exercise. Oshine has now lost a fifth of her body weight and now has even adopted an orphaned baby orangutan named Silvestre.” w/ photos
