Today Cheeta, the world's oldest chimpanzee, celebrates his 76th birthday. He is most famous for his role in a number of Tarzan films, and his last big screen appearance was as "Chee Chee" in 1967's Dr. Doolittle. Presently Cheeta resides at the CHEETA Primate Sanctuary in California, and a ghostwritten memoir of his life called Me Cheeta is due to be published this fall.

Cheeta, yoiu may not realize this, but it was YOU who got me interested in Africa and Anthropolology! Happy 76th birhday! You don't look a day over 50 or so.
