CALGARY Chaplin, a Calgary Zoo mainstay since 2002, has been euthanized due to his numerous health challenges including chronic diabetes and significant frailty. The Japanese macaque, who was born June 6, 1996 at the Detroit Zoo, was euthanized Thursday morning. Over the past many months, Chaplin’s caregivers and veterinary team have supported him through targeted medications, diet and careful observation, said Calgary Zoo officials in a social media post.
