A chimpanzee who apparently starred in Tarzan films in the 1930s has died at the age of 80, according to the sanctuary where he lived.

The Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor said he died on Saturday of kidney failure.

He had acted alongside Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan in Tarzan films from 1932-34, it claimed.

The animal loved fingerpainting and watching football, and was "soothed by Christian music".

80 is a pretty hefty age for a chimp. There are plenty of old apes around going only too well for themselves.

Politicians.

Don't name your chimp Cheetah, then let the media write "Cheetah dies aged 80".
