5 People Raised By Animals

throughout history there's always been

stories of people being raised by

animals from a young age you know tarzan

mowgli but those are just fiction right

now i'm gonna tell you about five real

people who were raised by animals as

always we're gonna cut to the chase

smash that subscribe button and let's

start first up marina chapman the woman

raised by monkeys when marina was four

she was abducted near her home in

colombia and then later abandoned in a

rainforest it was there when she came

across a group of capuchin monkeys

recalling around 20 of them cause that's

all she could count up to at the time

initially the monkeys weren't very

friendly with her so she would keep

following them around and mimicking them

in order to survive however as time went

on they slowly accepted her in the group

teaching her how to climb trees walk on

all fours crack open nuts and even make

a bed up in the tree branches at night

she was also able to communicate with

them using body language and gestures

similar to theirs but one of her biggest

struggles was getting food at first

marina could only eat whatever scraps

they left behind then later she learned

to follow around the monkey carrying a

huge banana branch and any time a banana

would fall off that was her chance to

eat she lived with the monkeys for 5

years until a group of hunters found her

and took her away they even almost sold

her to a brothel but luckily she managed

to escape and now thrives in society

getting married and having kids of her

own next dina sinchar the man raised by

wolves dino was only six when a group of

hunters discovered him in the forest

coexisting with a pack of wolves the

hunters saw this as being unnatural so

they made the decision to smoke out the

cave get rid of the wolves and capture

dina and return him back to civilization

upon examining him they found that he

wasn't able to speak instead he could

only growl and make animal noises dina

also walked on all fours like a wolf and

ate raw meat not to mention he would

sharpen his teeth by gnawing on bones

for that reason they deemed him as an

imbecile and placed him in an orphanage

dina showed little or no attachment to

other human beings and didn't make much

improvements over the years in the end

he never learned how to speak either and

unfortunately passed away at the young

age of 34. up next the gazelle boy in

the 1960s an anthropologist by the name

of jean-claude auger heard rumors of a

boy living with gazelles and so he made

it his mission to find him several days

of searching passed by and he finally

stumbled upon the herd observing them

and trying to slowly gain their trust

over the span of a few days he noticed

that the boy would eat plants and grass

once in a while taking in lizards and

worms he would mainly walk on all fours

like a gazelle but also had the ability

to stand up straight as well noticeably

enough his ears nose and muscles would

suddenly twitch in response to the

smallest noise the anthropologist left

and came back two years later with the

spanish army captain in order to capture

the boy but as they tried to chase him

down it's said that he ran off at a

speed of 32 to 34 miles per hour and had

continuous leaps of 13 feet being able

to escape from them and never to be

captured next marcos rodriguez pantoya

the wolf man marco's mother passed away

when he was 3 and his father sold him to

a goat herder in order to run away with

another woman unfortunately that gold

herder suddenly passed away leaving

marcos alone in the mountains for 12

years one day while in search of food he

came across a cave which had wolf cubs

in it he played with them a bit and then

fell asleep there when he woke up the

mother had returned to her babies with

food but was staring fiercely at marcos

he began backing up a bit out of fear

however he was still hungry and wanted

some of that hunted prey after the cubs

ate their share something really strange

happened the mother wolf threw him a

piece of meat marcos hesitated to take

it because he was scared of being bit

but she pushed the meat closer to him

with her nose giving him the signal that

he can have it and just like that a deep

bond was developed and he became one of

them the wolves taught him to hunt and

survive on berries and mushrooms while

learning to navigate through the forest

however that all came to an end when he

was 19. that was when he was found by a

civil guard captured then returned to

civilization at the time he didn't know

how to speak he could only growl and

howl so it took him many years of

learning and readjusting but he claims

being found was the worst thing that

ever happened to him his fellow humans

are nothing but a disappointment as they

cheat and take advantage of him at work

these days he's pretty much stuck

between two worlds because on one hand

he doesn't feel comfortable enough going

back to humans and on the other hand

he's tried going back to the wolves but

he's lost the connection next oksana

malaya the girl raised by dogs oksana

was only 3 when her parents pretty much

left her outside in the cold one night

looking to survive she managed to crawl

into the warmest place nearby which

happened to be a dog kennel she lived

with them for five long years and over

time oksana built a strong bond with the

dogs becoming a part of their pact so

naturally this girl was becoming less

human and more like a dog living a feral

life and eating their leftover food it

wasn't until she was eight when the

neighbors noticed her so they ended up

contacting the police initially the

authorities had a very tough time

getting close to oxana as the dogs were

heavily protecting her but tactically

they did manage to separate them from

her and brought her into care but none

of that mattered because by now it was

too late you see she was living with the

dogs for so long that she was running on

all fours just like they were and even

lost the ability to speak now in her

late 30s oksana is talking except her

voice is very monotone and essentially

emotionless not to mention she still

shows clear signs of her past life with

the dogs she follows direction well

loves being the center of attention and

when she's given something her first

instinct is to go and hide it oksana

even has a low tolerance for boredom and

experts claim that she has the mental

capacity of a six-year-old and for that

reason they put her in a home for the

mentally disabled now if you were to be

raised by one animal which one would it

be me i think i'd go with a lion cause

who's gonna with a pack of lions
