We have spoken a lot here about drones and how they are changing photography.  Also, I will remind you before we go any further that they are an inevitable up and coming fact.  So if you are a Miniver Cheevy about technology, get over it! The invasion of the drones has begun and, yes, there are a lot of issues to be worried about.  But, the drones are protecting African wildlife from poaching.

Well, the Royal Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands was using a drone to take footage of its ape enclosure.  Most of the chimpanzee’s accepted the photographing drone after a few minutes.  But not a young female named Tushi who waited patiently on a platform with a long branch hidden behind her back. Remember that chimps use tools and with this weapon Tushi knocked out the $2000 drone with a couple of whacks.  She then proceeded to jump on it and dismember it of some propellers.  All of this was caught by the drone’s camera.  This ape for one is saying no to this troublesome human technology.  Can the Planet of the Apes be far behind?
