Feral Children

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kids Brought Up By Animals

— May 22, 2007 — Lifestyle
Feral Children are kids that for whatever reason became lost from human society and were adopted by animals. There are lots of reports of monkeys and wolves adopting babies and raising them as their own. Some of the more bizarre stories include adoption of human children by panthers, ostriches, bears, gazelles and jackals. The website FeralChildren.com documents all the stories and reports over the ages and gives some real insight into this phenomenon.

Implications - While feral children are generally perceived as mythical, these real-life kids have supposedly been raised by animals including monkeys, wolves, gazelles and even ostriches. Adopting many of the traits of their "parents," such as walking on all fours or using certain noises to communicate, these children stand little chance of amalgamating into normal human society.
Trend Themes
1. Raising Feral Children - Exploring the phenomenon of feral children raised by animals and the challenges they face in integrating into human society.
2. Animal Adoption of Human Children - Investigating the rare instances of animals adopting human children and the impact it has on their development and behavior.
3. Feralchildren.com - Analyzing the role of FeralChildren.com in documenting and providing insights into the stories and reports of feral children throughout history.
Industry Implications
1. Psychology - Developing new theories and approaches to understand the psychological and social challenges faced by feral children in reintegrating into human society.
2. Animal Behavior Research - Examining the reasons why animals adopt human children and studying the impact of such interactions on both the animals and the children involved.
3. Education and Rehabilitation - Creating specialized programs and interventions to assist feral children in acquiring necessary skills and transitioning into normal human society.
