#michael_jackson Did you know? Michael Jackson’s famous chimpanzee, Bubbles, is still alive and thriving at 42 years old. He now resides at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, a sanctuary that provides care for retired and rescued primates. Once a pop culture icon who accompanied Jackson on tours and appeared in music videos, Bubbles now enjoys a peaceful life in a naturalistic environment, surrounded by other chimpanzees and far from the spotlight.
