the young girl had survived in the inhospitable jungle all on her own rosham had no idea the local language or local culture [Music] she would often look lost in her own thought and did not want to sleep in the family house what species could have hosted her for that long i guess we will never get to know for in may 2010 the unthinkable happened rosham fled back to the jungle [Music] the wild

would willingly run away from a good home for a child to consider that the streets or jungle are far much better then his home must have been really hostile in 1996 at only four years old ivan fled his home he wanted to be far away from his mother's boyfriend after fleeing i even found himself as a beggar in the harsh streets of rutav russia ivan was known to have been fond of feeding a pack of wild dogs with scrap food due to the bond that he created with the wild dogs little ivan saw himself as the leader of the pack [Music] the wild dogs in return fiercely protected him thrice he was captured by police and each time he would escape with the help of his wild dogs after finally succeeding in capturing him ivan was taken to a children's home where he was taught the human language the russian boy was a quick learner but it was difficult to convince him that living with humans was better than living with wild dogs because that is not the kind of experience he had he preferred staying where he felt loved and protected with the wild dogs they were there for him all year round even during the harshest of days he studied a military school and served in the russian army have you had a similar experience please let us know in the comments section number four amala and kamala amala and kamala were 12 and 8 years old respectively when they were found in a wolves den in india in 1920 they were said to have been found by reverend joseph singh who took them to an orphanage the reverend who lived in the edge of the jungle near the village of gatamori bengal india had to hide in a tree above the den to rescue the girls after the wolves left he saw two beings leave the same cave he was bewildered by what he was seeing at first he could not identify the beings as either human nor wolf when he captured them the girls would sleep curled up and cuddle together they tore their clothes and howled like the wolves they could not speak they had a sharp sense of smell sight could see sharply in the dark and hearing and they would only eat raw meat from a bowl on the floor for they rejected cooked meals from the investigations that were carried out it was found that amal and kamala had physical deformity in their joints the two girls showed wolf-like behavior and would not allow themselves to be dressed and bit people who tried to feed them as well as walked on all fours it is believed that they were both taken by a she-wolf on totally different occasions the forehead retreated the lower face protruded in unmistakable likeness to the foster parent beast that had shown them more of a mother love than their human mothers had shown the family of wolves must have treated them well because the two little girls longed to return to the woods unfortunately they both fell terminally ill an incident that made the reverend painfully regret rescuing them he began to doubt if it was really better for them to be with the humans as compared to the jungle maybe just maybe they wouldn't have gotten terminally ill number three prava he was only seven years old at the time his then 31 year old mother treated him like one of her numerous pet birds he would stay in the room filled with bird feeds birds and their droppings as a result he could only communicate like the birds he chirped instead of speaking when he felt that he was not well understood he would move his hands like how birds flap their wings [Music] luckily he was not harmed physically and his mother had to release prava into child care pravo was given psychological care and rehabilitated must have been a hard life for prava at such a tender age what do you think of this ordeal let us know in the comments section below [Music] number two russian toddler in june 2012 social workers in russia found a toddler confined in a room which he shared with goats being his sole companions he was used to playing and sleeping with the goats as expected for lack of proper care he was malnourished he was not anywhere close to the ideal weight for children his age when the social workers arrived to rescue the toddler his mother escaped this can only mean one thing she knew exactly what she was doing [Music] under the care of compassionate doctors the little boy would refuse to sleep in the cot but instead he would prefer to rest underneath it sadly he was terrified of human beings poor little boy it is now time for the honorable mention of our subscriber pick of the day today's photo was sent to us by a subscriber wondering if there is any possibility for a child to be safe in the hands of a wild animal particularly a cheetah if you come across a peculiar photo online send it over to us we will look into it who knows it might feature in our next video now we looked into this photo and we are excited to reveal to you that this was a well-timed magnificent picture captured by at squid gallery showing a sand girl with a habituated cheetah in namibia truly what a shot however there exists such a girl who spent most of her tender age with cheetahs and this brings us to our number one [Music] tippy digger after her birth in 1990 tippy dagger parents decided to relocate from france and raise her in namibia a land filled with all manner of wildlife [Music] when she turned one year she made a new friend her best friend an elephant named dabu [Music] according to her parents it was love at first sight for both tipi and abu the elephant tippy always looked forward to spending time with the elephant she would even go out to search for as if that's not mind-blowing enough a local farmer in her area adopted a cheetah who became very close to tippy this however sent chills down the spines of her parents who feared that the cheetah would turn on their little girl during their playtime i mean who wouldn't pippy was gentle towards the wildcat and the cheetah in turn returned the favor he was calm around her while kids her age were in school tippy's parents were busy teaching her that some of these wild animals were deadly predators but tippy was one fearless girl she went on to make friends with many other animals not limited to an ostrich that even lit a ride on its back [Music] connecting with animals for tippy was as easy as ringing the doorbell as she did it without even breaking a sweat at a young age she had learnt the himba tribe culture that made her interaction with wild animals and nature as a whole even better at age 10 she was sent to a public school where she struggled to learn and her parents had no choice but to settle for homeschooling [Music] after acquiring her degree tippy went back to africa where she felt was her home she had since made a documentary of all the animals she got to interact with from her photos it is clear that she lived a life many of us envy to have she does appreciate being raised by wild animals and she wouldn't want it any other way unfortunately that's it for the 14 kids raised by animals some of these ordeals have actually confirmed to us that there are animals out there with such a noble feeling surpassing even that of mankind to shower all the love and affection of a fond and ideal mother on these feral kids which of these cases was the most insane do let us know in the comments below and if you liked this video be sure to check out our video on 10 strong kids you won't believe actually
