Tarzan, Jane, Boy, and Cheeta

What's your theory, Darwin?

Cheeta turned 76 this year, making him the oldest living chimpanzee according to Guinness World Records. Star of eight or more Tarzan films he has become a painter in retirement. At Go Cheeta you can find his pictures, paintings, bio, and videos; along with links to his obligatory blog and myspace page. There's also a petition you can sign online for his seventh attempt to secure a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The caninecentric Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has stars for Rin Tin Tin and Lassie, but they never played opposite President Ronald Reagan. Personally, my vote goes to Lancelot Link. You can also choose you own favorite real or imagined primate at Mr Monkey's Index of Famous Monkeys or Famous Monkeys Through History.
