protect her from them pulling at their chains and aggressively barking she was then taken away from both her human family and the dog she lived with she had forgotten how to walk on two legs and she couldn't speak this worried doctors because research shows that if children aren't exposed to the spoken language by the time they are five they might never learn but when she was moved into an orphanage she learned to walk like a human and to everyone's surprise learned to speak luckily she had developed some rudimentary language before moving out to the dog kennel it seemed like she would be able to live a somewhat normal life number 13. the kid raised by monkeys remember how we mentioned the jungle book well meet mowgli 2.0 this is the story of a young girl who was found in the jungle

when a cambodian family found her in 2007 they believed her to be their long-lost daughter raham penjang who went missing in 1989 when she was eight after a day of herding water buffalo people called her jungle woman since they believed that she had survived for so long in the wilderness unfortunately the girl they found was not their daughter and had only been missing for about a year however she

forward with proof that she was his daughter and went missing in 2006. she was found scavenging naked and covered in mud while it is nice to know that she was reunited with her true family it is sad

b lions giraffes abandoned mongoose an ostrich meerkats a cheetah a caracal numerous snakes a giant bullfrog and chameleons her life sounds like a storybook fairy tale that so many young kids dreamt

friends and the tribe's people that she lived with the sans bushmen and the himbus she currently lives in paris living the life of a typical teenager number 10. dina sanachar here is another story

and brought him back to civilization at six years old he was taken away from the wolves and brought to an orphanage where father erhard baptized him and gave him his name he had no language skills but was able to make animal noises he also only ate meat and would sharpen his teeth with bones while he didn't really care to connect with most humans he did form a bond with another feral child at the orphanage the child psychologist who studied sanitar said that after children grow up in the wild they struggle to connect with anything other than animals he thinks that it was only natural for the boy to bond with someone who was going through the same thing as him they were able to learn together and teach each other both trying to adjust to a different way of life number nine amala and kamala

walked like a chimp and despised wearing clothes and instead of speaking he made chimp-like noises he didn't trust anyone because he didn't know any better all he knew was life as a chimp after being rescued he was taken to a school while he was welcomed to the school where teachers tried to help him learn and to be a human everyone was afraid of him and he of them he never really adjusted to normal life and struggled to communicate never learning to speak number 7. john cebunya john cebunya lived with his parents in uganda until he was two or three years old during a time of brutal civil war in the 1980s it is believed that jon's father killed his mother and as a result john led to the jungle some think that this actually saved him from becoming a child soldier he lived with the vervet monkeys deprived of human contact for six months up to one year years after he was rescued he recalled the time he first encountered the animals he said that he was alone for a few days before they approached him and offered him something to eat in the beginning they were very cautious around him but once they realized he wasn't a threat they let him join their group he traveled around the jungle with them as they taught him how to climb trees and find food when he was finally found people thought that he was a monster because he had hair growing all over his face and body almost like a

everything that comes along with them the bird feed droppings and cages he was rescued by social workers who described his treatment as just like any other pet that belonged to his 31 year old mother his mother never spoke to him so his only exposure to communication was the birds that he shared his home with so he would chirp instead of speak thinking that he too was a bird even though he technically was never physically abused or abandoned in the wild he still suffers from what some psychologists say is the mowgli syndrome a condition named after the jungle book story this syndrome describes children who live like wild animals he temporarily lived in an asylum before being transferred to a more permanent psychological care this tragic story shows that you don't need to live in the wilderness in order to be raised wild number 5. trian calderar the romanian dog boy found in 2002 at the age of seven trian calderar was brought to a hospital in phagus romania after being found

about three years after being the survivor of domestic violence his mother reported that she was constantly beaten by trian's father and even though she loved him and cared for him she believes that
