Khedama says Charlie's body will be mounted and displayed in an area featuring other preserved, popular zoo residents.

Isn't that we all wish for when we die? 😛

...said the chimp died Tuesday, apparently of old age. Charlie was believed to be 52.

Didn't die from lung cancer? Is 52 an "old" age for chimps?

Don't worry, we fully plan on stuffing you and putting you on display in P&N when you die.

~60 years is what the web says.

Charlie only puffed the smoke into his mouth, he didn't inhale the smoke. So unless he died from oral cancer, which should be readily apparent, it wasn't the smoking.

yes.

saying smoking killed this chimp is lol'able. According to the story, he's only been picking up the cigs for the previous 6 years.
