Flooding in Florida has left a chimpanzee cut off from access, prompting sanctuary staff to use a drone to deliver food to him.

Kaleb, a 38-year-old chimpanzee, was stranded when floodwaters made roads impassable at the sanctuary, which provides lifelong care for animals formerly used in research laboratories, the pet trade and entertainment.

The non-profit facility said flooding damaged roads, buildings and equipment, but staff continued to monitor and care for the animals.
