Drone Delivers Food to Flood-Stranded Florida Chimp

Flooding at the Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, left 38-year-old chimpanzee Kaleb stranded when water covered the land bridge to his indoor enclosure and blocked staff from using their usual vehicles. Staff used a drone to bring him food, water and blankets; he later crossed a rope over the flooded area and reached a place accessible to caregivers. The sanctuary said its other chimpanzees remained safe, though floodwaters damaged roads, buildings and equipment.
