The spokesperson also says that Charlie’s body will be mounted and displayed alongside other popular and now preserved zoo residents.

Lisa Wathne, captive exotic animal specialist at PETA, told RadarOnline.com exclusively of the zoo’s decision to preserve Charlie, “We hope the zoo uses this as an alternative to replacing Charlie with another chimpanzee.
