The loneliest chimp in the world just got the best surprise - a hug from a new friend.
Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years, finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company decades ago.
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company, visiting him every so often to bring bananas and bread - the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island.
