(CNN) – “Condolences poured in to a Florida primate sanctuary Wednesday after it announced the death of Cheetah, a chimpanzee that the sanctuary said starred in the Tarzan movies during the 1930s.”

Hope his stay at the Sanctuary was a pleasant one. 
I hope so too. I suppose most of his life was spent training/performing but I hope he was well cared for and happy and had some fun times along the way. He was a better actor than some of his co-stars!

I think Tarzan said it best of his costar Johnny Weismuller Tarzan Call - YouTube
Unfortunately, it was not the real Cheeta.

Thank God! I think Tarzan says it best of his costar
Yeah, there was more than one “Cheeta/Cheetah”. In fact, according to the interviews I’ve seen, I believe there were at least four of them. To quote Franco Zeffirelli, “Monkey die, everybody cry.” Whichever Cheeta/Cheetah this was… may he RIP. 
No doubt the man had a set of pipes, lol!

I don’t think any of the Cheetas are alive today.
