Animal crackers

Michael Jackson was an animal lover from childhood and a committed vegetarian. His pets included Crusher the python, Muscles the boa constrictor, Mr Tibbs the ram, and Louis and Lola the llamas. The most famous member of his menagerie was Bubbles the chimpanzee, rescued from a cancer research clinic in Texas when she was three. Bubbles sat in on recording sessions for the Bad album, accompanied Jackson to Tokyo and was immortalised in a sculpture by Jeff

Koons (pictured).
