Chimp from 1930s US 'Tarzan' films dead at 80

He was still ALIVE? I didn't realize that chimpanzees had such a long life span.

I think the resemblance between Johnny Weismuller and Leonardi di Caprio is uncanny. Interesting how they put a picture of Tarzan and Jane with the article, but not one of Cheetah, the subject of the piece.

He lived a few miles up the road from me at a cheesy road side attraction turned sanctuary. My daughter took a school trip there once upon a time. I had forgotten he was there. 80 is an amazing age for a chimp.

Add another to my "I-assumed-they-were-already-dead" list.

That is sad. I loved Cheetah when I was a kid.

Is Cheetah Cheetah? Was Cheeta Cheetah? Or was this a Cheetah cheater?

I saw that on the news. I didnt know Chimps had that long of a lifespan.

Turtles live a long time.

P.S. I like turtles.

Parrots and parrotlets seem to die only when met with a freak accident.
