DVUR KRALOVE NAD LABEM, CZECH REPUBLIC - MARCH 19: A Chimpanzee watches a live-stream on a screen set up in an enclosure at the Safari Park on March 19, 2021 in Dvur Kralove nad Labem, Czech Republic. The park has set up live-stream broadcasting from the zoo in Brno to enrich the daily life of their chimpanzees amid lockdown. The Safari Park launched the experimental project to give the chimpanzees something to watch to give them some stimulation while crowds are not allowed to visit the zoo due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A Bird Idiot’s Guide To Birding

A Tufted Titmouse stands on a branch as Robert DeCandido also known as "Birding Bob" leads a group of bird watchers during a tour in Central Park, New York on November 29, 2020. - On a recent sunny morning in New York a few dozen people gathered in Central Park's wooded Ramble area with a common goal: zero in on an elusive owl. Autumn leaves crunch under their shoes as "Birding Bob" -- a guide who has been organizing birdwatching tours in the park for more than three decades, with interest jumping since the coronavirus pandemic hit the city in March -- leads them along winding paths.
