The Project Is Expected to End at the End of March Because the Chimps Will Probably Get Bored
The project is expected to run until the end of March because of an issue as old as time: boredom. Zoo officials anticipate that the chimps would eventually get bored of watching each other on the livestream, Šťastný told Live Science.
“The video streaming has been a big success, but in time, the chimp’s attention is most likely going to fade,” Šťastný said. “That is why the keepers keep coming [up] with new ways of enrichment every day.”
If you’re interested in watching the chimps’ livestream in real-time, you still have time to tune in! Since the livestream runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CEST, that’s 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET. Check it out here.
