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.
