Cheetah the chimp from 1930s Tarzan flicks dies...

The death at 80 years old of the Mona Chita, the tireless companion of Tarzan in a primate reserve of Florida (USA) has caused large number of reactions and expressions of affection toward this chimpanzee, although there are some who doubt their true identity.While the website Suncoast Primate The Sanctuary in Palm Harbor (Florida East Coast) announces the death "of the star of the Tarzan movies," which occurred on December 24, although it has always been those who have doubted its true identity and have even argued that this Chita never appeared in any film.They have also ensured that was 50 and not 80 as stated in the Suncoast Primate Reserve. Some doubt fueled by the fact that chimpanzees live an average of between 40 and 50.

What is certain is that there wasn't a single chimpanzee that starred Chita in the film "Tarzan." Several monkeys alternated shooting and usually had at least two in the set of recording.In the Twitter account enabled in its name, the "movie star" is only recognized as "one of the chimpanzees used in the film 'Tarzan' of the 30".
