Real children who were raised by animals! (video)

Real “Mowgli” children

Newsroom January 20 08:54

Most of us have probably either read about the story of Mowgli, the boy raised by animals and living in the jungle. He is the fictional character and the star of The Jungle Book stories. But that’s just a fairytale, you might think. Well the idea of feral children might sound unbelievable, but in fact there have been instances of real children being raised by wild animals. Oxana Malaya was a girl from the Ukrain who was raised by dogs. The girl was found living in dog kennel in 1991. She was abandoned by her alcoholic parents at the age of 3 outside their house and lived in the dog kennel ever since! After years of living with dogs she learned to walk on all fours and bark and growl like a dog. Here are some other cases of children being raised by animals.
