Note that Michael Jackson bought Bubbles in 1983. The chimpanzee regularly accompanied the musician on tour, lived on the Neverland ranch and slept with Jackson in one room. In 2003, after the birth of his son, the singer had to part with the pet because of fears that the animal could injure the child.

Since 2004, Bubbles lives in the center for primates in Florida.
