When floods struck Florida last week,
humans weren't the only ones impacted.
At Save the Chimp Sanctuary, where chimpanzee rescues are rehomed,
reaching some care houses became a challenge.
Their solution? Banana delivery by drone.
The gift was gratefully accepted by Caleb, a 38-year-old chimpanzee.
All the animals stayed safe on high ground, with veterinarians staying
overnight to watch over them. But recovery is far from over.
The sanctuary needs roof repairs
and mold remediation and is asking for donations.
