One of the chimps, Sagesse, was rescued from a dangerous life of animal trafficking. He was just a baby when the United Nations and The Great Apes Survival Partnership intervened and saved the chimp via helicopter.

Luckily, by the time Sagesse's helicopter landed, he was already feeling better.

Part of Sagesse's recovery is meeting other chimps, when is when he was introduced to fellow orphan Wenga.

Watch their meeting below:

The pair hit it off immediately with a hug, and Wenga started grooming Segesse almost right away.

Now, the two are finally safe and happy, and have been inseparable ever since.

This is a love worthy of a Disney movie.
