In Florida, a UAV delivered food to a chimpanzee trapped due to flooding.
Heavy rain fell in Florida early last week. As a result, overflowing canals flooded all the roads in the Save the Chimps reserve.
Most of the staff and animals were safe, but one of the 200 chimpanzees living there, 38-year-old Caleb, was captured.
Typically, the food on the reservation is delivered via golf cart. After the roads were flooded, trucks and a tractor were brought in, but they couldn't reach Caleb either.
The workers then used a UAV specially purchased for such cases and used it to deliver food and blankets. After eating and thinking about his situation, Caleb moved independently to a safer place along the rope.
At the end of the week, the water finally receded and all the animals were safe.
