# Talk:Bubbles (chimpanzee)

someone else tried to change this and it just got edited back. there are no sources of the birth date of this monkey. you wont find a single one. even the center for great apes, the place he lives, doesnt know. 2607:FEA8:891E:7D00:80FD:4EB9:D158:389F (talk) 05:08, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

As stated by the previous user, I found out there was no actual source for "April 30th" as Bubbles' birthday after seeing the Center for Great Apes themselves in two posts state that they don't know it ( 1 & 2 - these are Facebook links but from the verified page for the sanctuary) and instead his birthday is celebrated on the day he joined the sanctuary (March 11th). So I looked through the edit history and found this revision (dated 6th April 2017) that added the birthday as well as listing Bubbles as a "Cuttlefish Researcher". The latter was removed in this edit but the falsified birthday remained. I attempted to edit this last year here but it was added back here. I have reverted this change again now, but please try to keep the birthday accurate (in that, there is none other than "1983", as stated by the Center for Great Apes themselves both on official pages and their website). Thank you. Mario64325 (talk) 05:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

At one point the article says that after Bubbles became too strong to live with Michael, he was replaced by two other chimpanzees who the general public believed to be Bubbles. 
Later, it says that misleading news stories said that there were more than one Bubbles.
So which is true? I suggest that the discrepancy in the article should either be corrected (if enough evidence exists) or acknowledged (if no one is sure). You could say,  "According to some reports...." Jfodsire (talk) 20:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
