Judy the Chimp - Mischievous Chimpanzee on the animal
adventure DAKTARI/CBS/1966-69.
Judy lived with veterinarian Dr. Marsh Tracy (Marshall Thompson) and his
daughter, Paula (Cheryl Miller) at the Wameru Animal Study Center for Animal
Behavior in Africa. Clarence, the cross-eyed lion was Judy's companion on the
series.
In real life, Judy was owned by Ralph Helfer, the creator of Africa, USA, an
animal behavioral center in Southern California. Trained by Frank Lamping, Judy
obeyed and responded to 75 hand signals.
One of her unique talents (for a chimp) was that she was potty trained. She used
a real toilet and lots and lots of toilet paper.
