Mike Kostial would talk fondly of Nero. He was a great chimp who did most everything in the show. Nero even learn how to ride a unicycle on his own. Probably was taught how to ride it but would practice picking up the unicycle and getting started on his own. Nero died when he was about eight years old of heart trouble. Must have been a zoo star because I once saw a fancy book of matches that featured Nero on a unicycle.

J.C.H., makes me wonder, with Nero's unicycle skills if he lived longer would he have performed the "cups and saucers".
