Read the story

The chief executive of Save the Chimps told WQCS on November 9 that animals and staff were safe as floodwaters receded at the Florida sanctuary.

Drone food delivery helped one chimp during the emergency. A sinkhole outside the gate continued to prevent vehicle access, illustrating why recovery was only beginning.
