Cheeta turns 75 today, continuing his run as the oldest living non-human primate and making him a shoo-in as your Monday Mammal. You can donate to the CHEETA sanctuary (which also cares for other ex-movie primates) here.

Having had apes on the brain for the past two days while I prepared a speech outline on great ape conservation, I must say that that seeing this seems like a singularly appropriate way to end my weekend. Thanks!
Not the worst puss or most gray hairs I've seen in so old primates. Congrats Cheeta, especially since you now are as old as your costar Buster Crabbe when he died!
Cheeta is also catching up to Johnny Weissmuller who was 79 when he died.
that is pretty cool i know a turtle that lived to be 355
