Bubbles the Chimp: Still Thriving at a Florida Ape Sanctuary
Michael Jackson’s chimp Bubbles is alive and well at the Center for Great Apes in Florida, about 170 pounds and 43 years old, living with a group of five and enjoying fruits, greens, and Velcro treasures; his care is funded by Jackson’s estate. He’s camera-shy and largely out of the public eye, and the film about Michael Jackson uses CGI instead of featuring him, amid ongoing dialogue with PETA about his portrayal as a pet.
