A chimp sanctuary used a delivery drone to feed an ape stranded by flooding

Flooding cut off normal routes at a Florida chimpanzee sanctuary. Staff used an emergency drone to deliver food and blankets to a chimp named Kaleb until he reached a more accessible area.

This is the sort of odd true story that belongs in News of the Weird↗: the animal-care problem and improvised airborne delivery are independently interesting, not recycled from the technology pages.

What to do: Read the Associated Press report and see how sanctuary workers improvised while protecting the animals.
