Adult chimpanzee with young.

This is such a loving shot. It's great to see this type of parenting and caring in "nature." For all we know the older adult may not even be related to the young chimp. It could even be an uncle. There were a number of families in the chimpanzee compound; they have probably learned to care for each other's children. It seemed everybody got along pretty well.
