Tarzans Chimp celebrates 74th Birthday
"Cheeta' one of the worlds oldest Chimpanzee's (according to the Guiness book of records) celebrated his birthday on april 10 2006.
"Cheeta" who starred in many Tarzan films, being the oldest captive chimp marked his 74th birthday on sunday with a party in Palm Springs, California..
Cheeta starred in a dozen Tarzan films in the 1930s and 1940s before his retirement.
Chimpanzees rarely live past their 40s in the wild but often live until their 60s in captivity.
He celebrated his birthday with a sugar-free cake and washed it down with diet soda.
Cheeta's last film was "Dr. Doolittle" in 1967.
He is also an accomplished artist. Two of his paintings have hung in the National Museum in London.
Cheeta has also received a special comedy award from the International Comedy Film Festival of Peniscola in Spain.
