So I stumbled across this site, and pretty much did one of these ""

Apparently all these children have been raised by some type of animal. Now, I don't know about you, but I would suspect a wolf to much faster eat a baby than nurse it. Like George Bush did at the one thingy event.



"Many children who've lived with animals tend to behave like their foster parents: they walk on all fours, make the same noises as the dogs, wolves or other hosts, and can bite and be aggressive. This provides confirmation that they certainly did spend their formative years in the company of animals."

Also, I don't think anyone could literally think they are a hairless, no tailed, ugly-ass wolf. I think just the fact that we have larger brains would give us the ability to go "HEY...wait a minute. Somethings here isn't right..."

=/=


Post about Have you been raised by wolves??
"Have you ever fantasized about getting married to a wolf? Then becoming the ruler of all wolves?
If you could be raised by ANY animal what would it be?

Wild children exist.

They actually have a name in the scientific community... I mean they're called feral children or wild children, but the concept of introducing human children to the wild in the hopes of observing them scientifically is called (I think) the Forbidden Experiment. Or something of that magnitude. It's a well documented phenomenon.

Then why are there so few factual documented cases?

"Be free babies!! Into the wilderness with you! Say hello to the wolves for me. Now we wait 20 years until when they think they are a wolf."

I can see why most people would be against that experiment.

This topic reminds me of that one episode of the x files where mulder goes to that town and they believe there is a half man half cat eating the people but it was really a family of wild humans... weird haha

I think I would want to be raised by prairie dogs.

There was an old movie of someone who had brought a feral child into his home and tried to educate them, it was pretty limited in its success.

Anything can be said to be "known in the scientific community". I mean all it takes is photoshopping a picture of someone with down syndrome and faking a scientific journal entry.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I still do believe that it is totally posssible (but imagine the odds of that?!) for a human baby to be raised by animals though, but for most cases I'd say it's just some stint by some redneck tabloid

I remember hearing this news about a boy being raised by wolfs. before this wolf took this baby away from the family, they thought they ate the baby, instead the wolf raised the baby and later on they found the kid. It was impossible though for him learning how to speak again, since after so many years, then i dont know what happened to him. I think they made a book about it too xD

No way. How do they get there? Into the wild I mean.

It's called Dump-a-baby.

That's the only way I can think of it. Parents who don't want to get an abortion or anything just kinda leave the kid in the middle of no where.

And the reason they'd start to believe themselves as wolves (without the mental thought that they aren't) is because if they don't have any english being taught to them, how can they think in english? Kids imitate their parents at such an early age, if you never see a human as a baby, you wouldn't have known they existed and therefore not known that you were actually a human.

" It was as if they had the minds of wolves. They tore off any clothes put on them and would only eat raw meat. They slept curled up together in a tight ball and growled and twitched in their sleep. They only came awake after the moon rose and howled to be let free again. They had spent so long on all fours that their tendons and joints had shortened to the point where it was impossible for them to straighten their legs and even attempt to walk upright. They never smiled or showed any interest in human company. The only emotion that crossed their faces was fear. Even their senses had become wolf-like. Singh claimed their eyes were supernaturally sharp at night and would glow in the dark like a cat's. They could smell a lump of meat right across the orphanage's three acre yard. Their hearing was also sharp - except, like Victor, the voice of humans seemed strangely inaudible to their ears."

There are tons of books apparently about these two girls the paragraph is describing.

that is kinda disturbing picturing little kids running around going crazy like wolves. hahahah


this reminded me of this article we had to read in psychology. about this girl

her parents like locked her in a room for several years and never ever talked to her.


& so she never really learned how to talk or anything or have the chance to learn english.

i mean not the same exact thing, she wasnt running around like a wolf, but you get the point
