Died at age 80, December 24, 2011, at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, Florida.
Believed to have performed in the Tarzan films in the 1930s. Like I said, this one was thought to be the real Cheeta, but it is known that several were used in the films and, chimpanzees grow as they age.
Appeared in "Tarzan the Ape man" in 1932 and "Tarzan and His Mate" in 1934. Those would be with Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan and Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane.
Weep No More for Cheeta. --DaCoot
