What was the name of the chimpanzee who was a friend of the fictional film character Tarzan?

loved Tarzan, as a kid, Ron Ely as the TV choice, and Johnny Weissmuller as the film choice....

if i remember rightly johnny Weissmuller was a former american olympic swimmer . A little nugget of info my dad told me many moons ago when i was a child .

My favourites were first on the list, Johnny Weissmuller, 2nd Ron Ely.

i see, No wonder My country's classic Film Use A name Of Cheeta to refer to the monkey
