This is an example of a feral man (isolated from human communities, raised by animals).

Here are some facts about feral people you probably don’t know.

  • feral children are never able to properly learn human language.
  • once they are passed that critical learning person (from age 2-5) that’s it, it’s over. they will never be able to communicate normally.
  • they are able to communicate with their animal family in ways such as a growl
  • they become integrated with the environment. 
  • for example, the case of the Victor of Aveyron, was a feral boy. when brought into a warm home, he hated it. he tried to escape numerous times and frolicked around naked in the snow. 
  • feral children may never learn how to walk upright because as said before they passed the critical learning period
  • they show disinterest around the people around them, and prefer the companion of their animal family
  • their skin and feet have evolved to suit their respective environment. for example, strong calluses at the feet for running around the forest.
