To enrich everyday life of their chimpanzees amid a strict lockdown, a zoo park in the Czech Republic has installed a big screen in their enclosure to broadcast for them what fellow chimpanzees are doing at a zoo in Brno. The Safari Park launched the experimental project to give the chimpanzees somebody to watch and give them some fun after crowds of visitors disappeared when the zoo was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic on Dec 18, 2020.
