Girl raised by monkeys found in India

Washington Post article w/video
quote:
Amid a troop of monkeys in the Katraniaghat forest range in northern India roamed a naked human girl, playing with the primates as if she were one of them. She looked emaciated, her hair disheveled. But she appeared to be in a comfortable state, until the police arrived. A group of woodcutters had alerted authorities after spotting the girl, believed to be 10 to 12 years old. When police approached her, the monkeys surrounded the girl, protecting her as one of their own, and attacking an officer as the girl screeched at him, the New Indian Express reported this week. After rescuing the girl, the officer sped away in his patrol car, the monkeys chasing him.
quote:
Based on her behavior, it appears she could have lived among the primates since she was an infant, Bahraich police officer Dinesh Tripathi told the New Indian Express. When the girl arrived at the hospital, she had wounds all over her body. “Her nails and hair were unkempt like monkeys,” Tripathi said.
quote:
“She behaves like an ape and screams loudly if doctors try to reach out to her,” Singh told the New Indian Express. Another doctor treating her said the girl struggles to understand anything, and makes apelike noises and facial expressions.

They found her again? Those monkeys must've got her back.

This is a stunning story, imo.
There was a story in one of those "scary stories to tell in the dark" books about a girl who lived among wolves along the rio grande valley in texas. That was a fake legend and it freaked me out.

They should let her go back to live with her monkey family

Her superior intelligence would have made her a queen. But which kind of monkeys were these? And they never tried to mate with her?

I think this happened in the wild jungles of Bavaria

It mad me sad when I read they were chasing after the car she was in.

Really must be a terrifying ordeal for her when you stop and think about it. If she really was with those primates from the time she was an infant and didn't have any human contact, those monkeys really are her family and all she's known. Imagine being taken away from the only family you've ever had and not having any idea why. Very sad. Obviously it's for her benefit, but still very sad to consider, nonetheless.

She'll never be able to adjust to human life. Let her be with the monkeys and study from afar.

They should have left her there and monitored how she lived discretely for awhile. I mean, she's already been there 10 plus years what's another couple weeks for observation?
