Read the story

Save the Chimps in Florida is beginning recovery as floodwaters recede, WQCS reported on November 9. Its chief executive said the animals and staff were safe.

Food reached one chimp by drone. However, a sinkhole outside the entrance still blocks staff cars, so lower water has not removed every access problem.
