A Chimpanzee Knocked Down a Spy Drone in a Dutch Zoo

A simian surprised the human technicians when he took down an small air vehicle (without crew) which was shooting images of the Dutch Zoo.
The drones have become useful devices to observe and study the natural environment and different species. In Royal Burgers Zoo's case they are using drones to study the chimpanzee's behaviour.
What they were not able to take in account was that chimpanzees are very intelligent and don't like the unexpected visits.
On the 10th April during one of the observation flights, a drone with a camera was knocked down and destroyed by a chimpanzee who was on a wood structure armed with a stick. In the images shot by the drone, the chimpanzee was calm , he stretched out his arm and started trying to knock down the device.
The drone remained useless after the attack but the technicians were able to recover the images recorded by the camera.
