A lesser-known aspect of "The King" was his great love for animals. Elvis had countless pets over the course of his life: dogs, horses, birds, etc. etc But none was stranger (and funnier) than Elvis' pet chimpanzee, Scatter.

Scatter was nothing but trouble from day one, but something about him must have appealed to Elvis' offbeat sense of humor and questionable sense of fun. Scatter, a natural ham, loved to make a big entrance at Elvis' parties. Scatter's loud, ringing "Woooo-woooo-wooo" would startle the guests, and many of the female guests would start screaming.

Elvis loved to dress Scatter up in suits, Hawaiian shirts, and caps. He loved to put Scatter in the front seat of his Rolls-Royce limo and have him chauffeured around the city. At traffic lights, Elvis liked to have the driver duck down and have Scatter sit in the driver's seat. The other drivers would look over and see Scatter in a chauffeur's uniform and cap, and they would freak out. Elvis found this gag hilarious.
