Drone Used to Deliver Food to Chimpanzees Amid Severe Flooding at Florida Sanctuary
Severe flooding at Florida's Save the Chimps sanctuary submerged much of its 150-acre property, hindering staff access to over 200 rescued chimpanzees. To ensure their care, staff used drones to deliver bananas, blankets, and medication to chimps safely located on higher ground. Floodwaters damaged roads, vehicles, and equipment, with staff relying on tractors and off-road vehicles for supplies. Sanctuary officials confirmed all chimpanzees remained safe despite the worst flooding in 25 years, while repairs and recovery efforts continue.
