Tarzan co-star Cheetah dies - Valuesize - 12-28-2011 I had no idea he was still living. In fact I don't see how he could have lived this long! Oh well, here is the story. Quote:Cheetah the chimpanzee, who acted in classic Tarzan movies in the early 1930s, died of kidney failure Saturday at Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, a sanctuary spokeswoman said. http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2011/dec/27/1/tarzan-co-star-cheetah-dies-at-palm-harbor-sanctua-ar-341123/ RE: Tarzan co-star Cheetah dies - Tiamat - 12-28-2011 Guess they get pretty old! RE: Tarzan co-star Cheetah dies - tvguy - 12-28-2011 I knew they got pretty old just like elephants and turtles, like 60 or so and usually animals live longer in captivity. But wow 80?
