Cheetah Not Chita

Read today in a NY Daily that Cheetah the Chimp from the original tarzan movies is still alive

He is 74 & has outlived them all. He is living in a retirement home ( for retired chimps I guess) He is very stand offish & I guess stardom went to his head

Someone was trying to do an interview with him . Do not ask me how you do it. He ignored the interviewer & spends his days eating banannas & drinking Diet Coke. He has to be quite big & gray now

Lets hear it for the old folks. Way to go cheetah

Wow, Googled Cheetah and he is in a santuary where he spends his days painting pictures, which they sell for a donation of $135! The old guy looks great for his age!

Thanks Snafu

I saw the pictures on Google . I am 60 & my hair is gray. Here is a 74 year old ape who has all his hair & it is still all black

Way to go Cheetah. He should have been at the opening night party of Tarzan as he appears to be the party animal
