Drone delivers bananas to chimpanzees after severe flooding hits Florida sanctuary

Severe flooding hit the 150-acre Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, leaving roads submerged and making it difficult for staff to reach more than 200 rescued chimpanzees. With normal transport routes disrupted, caregivers turned to an emergency drone to deliver food and blankets.

A video showed a 38-year-old chimpanzee named Kaleb receiving a paper bag of food by drone and enjoying a banana. Despite the flooding, the sanctuary said the chimpanzees remained safe and continued receiving food, medicines and other care.
