10 People Who Got Raised By Animals In The Wild!
People have heard of stories of children being raised in the wilderness by wild animals, kind of like
Mowgli in the Jungle Book, but did you know that some of these stories are true? In fact, one of these
feral children, as they are called, is said to be the direct inspiration for the book. All these children have
amazing stories to tell, especially the two kids at number one so better make sure you stay tuned for
that. Here are 10 People Who Got Raised By Animals In The Wild!

10. John Ssebunya
After spending 3 years in the jungle and being cared for by wild monkeys, John Ssebunya was found in
1991. Since then, he was called the Ugandan Monkey boy.
He was born in the mid-1980s, but ran away from home at around the age of three after seeing his
mother murdered by his own father. He was cared for at least to some extent by green African vervet
monkeys while in the jungle. John was found by a tribeswoman or named Millie in 1991, hiding in a tree.
She returned with menfolk from the village and, as is so often the case, John resisted being captured.
According to reports, John’s entire body was covered with hair called hypertrichosis. When he
defecated, he excreted worms over half a meter long. Once captured and cleaned up — he was covered
in scars and wounds, with knees scarred from crawling. It was by this time that he was successfully
identified with his given name. He was given by Millie to the care of Paul and Molly Wasswa, who run a
charitable foundation for orphans. He couldn’t talk or cry initially, but has subsequently learned to
speak. John now not only talks but also sings, and tours with the Pearl of Africa children’s choir.

Number 9. The Russian Bird Boy
Although technically not raised in the wild by birds and lived in the city with his mother, this boy thought
he was a bird, and it’s because of his mom’s neglect.
In 2008, Russian care workers rescued a seven-year-old “bird-boy” who could communicate only by
“chirping” and flapping his arms after his mother raised him in a virtual aviary. The neglected child was
found living in a tiny two-room apartment surrounded by cages containing dozens of birds, bird feed and
droppings. The child looked physically healthy and not physically harmed, but is clearly suffering from
“Mowgli Syndrome”, which is a Feral human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a
very young age and has little or no experience of human care, social behavior, and of human language.
The child’s mother never talked to him. It was all the birds that communicated with the boy and taught
him birds’ language. He just chirps and when realizing that he is not understood, and starts to wave
hands in the way birds winnow wings. The child is now housed in a psychological care facility.

Number 8. Dina Sanichar
Hunters were roaming a forest in India back in 1897 when they stumbled upon a very puzzling sight; a
pack of wolves that were being followed by a 6-year-old boy walking on all fours. This was the discovery

of Dina Sanichar, also called the wolf boy of India. He is also thought to be the inspiration for Mowgli in
the Jungle Book.
The hunters decided to take Dina back to civilization, with great difficulty but somehow managed to do
it and turned him over to a mission run orphanage where he was baptized and given his name. He
stayed in the orphanage for the rest of his life.
Even though he stayed with people for most of his life, he didn’t quite lose his feral ways. Though he
appeared to have no capacity for language, he was not mute, making animal noises instead. He only ate
meat, sharpened his teeth with bones, and shunned clothes.
He did make a friend though, who was another feral boy also brought to the orphanage.

Number 7. The Syrian Gazelle Boy
Now, this entry is a bit controversial as many believe it to be a hoax. Here’s a condensed version of the
story and I leave it up to you to decide whether it’s real or not.
In 1946, a boy aged around 10 was found in the midst of a herd of gazelles in the Syrian desert, and was
only caught with the help of an Iraqi army jeep, because he could, allegedly, run up to 30 mph. Although
terribly thin, he was said to have been extremely fit and strong, with muscles of steel. He was captured
and bound hand and foot.
In 1955, the gazelle boy attempted to escape from the facility he was being kept in. I won’t offend your
sensibilities by telling you what they did to him to stop him escaping again.
The Life Magazine story of 9 September 1946 agrees pretty much with the other reports. It states that
the previous month
