14:07 2007-5-2Imagine a baby alone in the woods, how would he eat? Where would he sleep? As humans, we come into this world completely helpless. Mostly, we just know how to breathe and cry. Animals, on the other hand, stagger to their feet within minutes of birth, and begin to take on the world. Animals instinctively know how to get nourishment from their mothers. Life can be a struggle, and only the fittest/ survive.

But while kids and animals do have some things in common, the fact is a human child is ill-equipped to face the world on its own. So take away a parent and the comforts of home, could a child survive in the wild? And is it possible that in the absence of mom, a nurturing monkey will step in? That's why we are asked to believe in stories of so-called "feral children", children living in the wild often with a help of animals. But are these stories real?

"Would I rule it out? No, it may be possible and may have been possible, may have happened".
"My gotten scene / is to say some were probably real and some were not."

Although rare, tales of "feral children" appear all over the world. Oxana Malaya, known as the Ukrainian Dog Girl, lived for years with a pack of dogs. In South Africa, a boy named Lucus allegedly spent his childhood in the care of a troop of baboons. Or there is Amala and Kamala, Indian girls who local police found sleeping together in a wolf den. These stories are intriguing and utterly compelling, but what exactly are we dealing with?

"Well, word feral has many different meanings, but here we are using it in the sense of children who either rear themselves without human companionship or more likely were reared by some form of animal."

Dr. Douglas Candland has studied the phenomenon of feral children and their alleged interaction with wild animals. He's examined hundreds of reported cases. Most, he says, rely on eyewitness accounts, and have certain common elements.

"They all said the child had no recognized simple speech. The child did not like to eat cooked food. The child walked on all fours. So quite properly, people would say 'This is a wild child'."
