Animals are said to be a part of lives. Dogs, cats, rabbits etc are like our family members since we keep them as pets. But for these children, animals were the survival kit. They grew with them and their true stories are very fascinating. Julia Fullerton-Batten, a photographer from Germany has put together these images. These following photos show us the documented cases of some feral children belonging to various continents.
1. Lobo Wolf Girl
Lobo Wolf Girl was seen in Mexico during the late 1840s, where she ate a goat along with the wolves and even the wolf cubs. She eventually later disappeared completely and was nowhere to be found.
2. Oxana Malaya
Oxana Malaya’s case was discovered in Ukraine during the year 1991 when she was discovered living with the dogs due to the thoughtless behavior of her alcoholic parents. Presently she is working with farm animals under a heavy supervision.
