Video: Chimp knocking a drone camera out of the sky with a stick

A cunning creature

Joe Harrington

Dunston goes to the zoo and knocks down a drone camera.

A chimpanzee at the Royal Burgers’ Zoo in the Netherlands was a bit annoyed by a drone camera flying in there, so he picked up a large stick, climbed a tree, and swatted a pesky drone out of the sky.

We’re not sure you should be flying a drone inside a zoo anyway, but this guy learned his lesson and won’t do it again.

A source close to the chimp told us that the new owner of the camera hopes film some drone footage around the west coast of Ireland. No, we’re joking, it’s the east coast.
