A drone was used in Florida to save starving chimpanzees.
Due to prolonged storms, the city of Fort Pierce received about 40-50 cm of precipitation in a short period of time. The flood cut off about 200 chimpanzees from the local reserve staff. There was a problem with the delivery of the supplies. The caretakers' usual transportation - golf carts - was completely flooded, and the egg wagon they sent broke down. Then a UAV loaded with food and warm blankets was sent to help the animals.
Of particular concern was a 38-year-old man named Caleb, who was stranded on a tiny island in the water. Animal activists organized an extraordinary rescue operation and used a drone to deliver bananas to chimpanzees.
