The loneliest chimp in the world: Ponso welcomes visitors with open arms years after he was abandoned by medical lab on an island where his entire family died

Ponso has been living by himself on a tiny island off the Ivory Coast for nearly three years, after his mate and their two children died within days of each other at the end of 2013. Ponso's only companion has been Germain, a nearby villager who brings the chimp his only source of food and water. 

But this month Ponso was visited by Estelle Raballand, the director of the Chimpanzee Conservation Center, and immediately embraced her in a hug and laughed and she touched him. Ponso was one of dozens of chimps abandoned on islands by the New York Blood Center after he was used for medical testing in the 1980s.
