A few years ago, the BBC made a TV programme Dynasties about animal families across the world. Sometimes families are happy, and sometimes they fight. Sometimes life is good, and sometimes it is not easy. It is the same for this family of chimpanzees in south-eastern Senegal, and for all animal families.
