I believe that the part of Cheeta was played by a number of apes in the Tarzan films. Any info? Steve-O 22:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Apparently not. The BBC news article today on his 74th birthday indicates that he was in a "dozen" Tarzan films with Weismuller. As it happens, IMDb lists exactly twelve Weismuller Tarzans. - Paul Drye 17:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
IMDB has an entry for Cheeta. However it doesn't say he played Cheeta in the 1966-1968 Tarzan TV series with Ron Ely. Does anybody know who played Cheeta in that series? I can vaguely remember watching the credits, but cannot bring this to mind.-- DrWhoFan 15:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
This article states simultaneously that Cheeta is dead and still alive. Can someone please find out? - Richardcavell 09:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
No it doesn't. It states he has passed a certain age; that isn't the same as saying he's passed on! BPK 06:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I just saw Cheeta on Headline News celebrating his 74th(!) birthday. He had cake and Diet Coke. MrBlondNYC 12:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
REPORTED DEAD
I heard a radio report within the past three months (c. April-June 06) that Cheeta had died at age 74.
Cheeta's birthday is being widely reported on April 9/10, 2006. However, most sources are also indicating that he was in Tarzan the Ape Man. IMDb shows that that movie was released on March 25, 1932, so one of these two dates, or else Cheeta's appearance in the movie must be wrong. This is an appeal for someone with definitive sources to chip in! -- Paul Drye 17:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Once again, I've edited the article to reflect this. -- Paul Drye 14:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
The article states, "(Cheeta) is cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest primate." Yet are humans not also considered primates? What i'm asking here is wether or not Guinness is wrong, and should this be included in the article if it is indeed innacurate?
I was wondering this too. He clearly isn't the world's oldest primate. So who's wrong: Guiness or the article? Ezekiel. 22:49, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Presumably Guiness means oldest non-human primate; I have corrected the article accordingly. BPK 04:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Someone should include thin in the article as well!
This originally said everyone in Brazil. I highly doubt all Brazilians think Cheeta is female. What about Brazilians who have read the wikipedia article for example? Actually there is no evidence from this article it is many either but I've just left it at that. Also would the word interestingly (or something of that sort) be a better choice? I feel that curiously suggests it's strange or unexpected but given the reason, it doesn't seem strange or unexpected. Nil Einne 13:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
What kind of chimp is Cheeta.
http://gamma.fnphoto.com/stories/2156/ <== I'd say common.
Common. A bonobo wouldn't be able to stop masturbating long enough for filming to go on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.252.71.224 ( talk) 23:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
This National Geographic article says Cheeta used to enjoy both beer (several per day) and cigars until the early 90's. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/05/0509_030509_cheeta_2.html Probably ain't significant enough for the article, but it's hilarious.. unless you consider what the cigars must've done to his health. (My mind conjures up an image of Cheeta watching his old movies with his grandson, sharing a beer, saying (in chimp) "this here is one of the best scenes I did with Johnny" and puffing on a cigar.)

The article is quite clear that there is this one Cheeta born in 1932, playing (albeit in a minor role) in Tarzan the Ape Man, and still alive in Palm Springs. Yet the Palm Springs website features some really cautious phrasing, and I quote: "Our sanctuary's Cheeta is the last in a long line of Cheetas dating back to the first in 1932." Sounds a bit fishy, doesn't it? Classical geographer ( talk) 15:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
