Michael Jackson’s Bubbles The Chimp Living Happily Ever After

Whatever happened to Bubbles the Chimp?
No, this isn’t a Child Stars of the 80s episode, it’s just a report on Michael Jackson’s beloved pet chimp, Bubbles.
Bubbles is living large at the Florida sanctuary, Center For Great Apes, getting the star treatment of cucumbers and banannas delivered to him daily as he schmoozes with 14 orangutans and 27 other chimps.
The Center For Great Apes was founded in 1993, by Patti Ragan, to provide “a permanent sanctuary for orangutans and chimpanzees who have been retired from the entertainment industry, from research, or who are no longer wanted as pets.”
Bubbles became a little aggressive as he grew older (you know how Hollywood divas are) and Michael was forced to give him up.
Sadly, many people like Jackson don’t realize chimps are wild animals and are not suitable for living among humans. Fortunately, the Bubbles story ended happily, unlike the one with Travis the chimp.
Watch the video to see Bubbles perform some sort of slicky slide maneuver around his cage.

I had heard Bubbles had been rescued, as well as many other animals at Neverland Ranch.
