This is a very special, unique and touching lot. It consist of a hand painted artwork from Cheeta the chimpanzee that starred in 12 original classic Tarzan films, and 1967 Dr. Dolittle. The artwork was done by the hands of the Cheeta the chimp himself and thumbprint signed in lower corner. Lot also consist of original news article on Cheeta, certificate for the painting, and signed pictures. Cheeta is the worlds oldest living primate and has set that in the Guinness Book of World Record. Cheeta was a true Hollywood star and lived his life as such by drinking beers and smoking cigars after long days on the sets. He is now in the care of Dan Westfall eating a well balanced healthy diet, he is diabetic and takes insulin but is far from abused or neglected as the stereotype of hollywood animals goes. Cheeta inspired C.H.E.E.T.A., Committee tp Help Environments of Endangered and Threatened Apes.
