Where is Michael Jackson's famous chimpanzee Bubbles now?

Bubbles, who was once seen in many photos alongside Michael Jackson, is now 43 years old. In the early 1990s, the famous chimpanzee was handed over by the singer to an animal center in California. Later, he was moved to the "Center for Great Apes" sanctuary in Florida.

Here, Bubbles lives with other chimpanzees in a more natural environment adapted for animals. His residence has not changed since 2009, the year Michael Jackson passed away. Sanctuary specialists take care of his health, nutrition, and daily needs.

Staff members say that Bubbles is calm and cautious. He does not want to get too close to people. In particular, he does not like cameras and tries to avoid being photographed. That is why there are very few new photos and videos of him taken in recent years.

Bubbles likes to spend his free time painting. He prefers to be alone during this activity.

Michael Jackson's family members and the foundation associated with his estate are not indifferent to Bubbles' fate. They continue to provide financial support to the sanctuary for the chimpanzee's care.
