Cheetah the chimp

[Peaceandlove9092]

Cheetah the chimpanzee who starred in the early Tarzan movies has just celebrated his 75th birthday. I didn't realise chimps lived that long. He was also in Dr Doolittle apparently, the Rex Harrison version.

I knew he was alive a few years ago as I saw him on some TV programme, but I'm surprised he's still going.
