‘Mowgli’, the character of a small boy who was raised in the wilderness by animals in the famous ‘The Jungle Book’, might be familiar to all. Now, a 8-year-old girl who was recently found in a jungle near India-Nepal border, possibly raised by monkeys, is being called ‘Mowgli girl’.
Police rescued the girl after she was spotted in a jungle by a group of lumberjacks. She was reportedly found walking on four legs and screeching at humans like monkeys do when government officials found her. She was nearly naked and had wounds all over her body.
A govt. official said that She was surrounded by three monkeys when they rescued her. ‘She couldn’t talk or hear. She looked very weak and was hungry. If we hadn’t rescued her, she could have been eaten by other animals. She appeared to have been abandoned there by her parents,†he added.
After she was admitted to a hospital, she had trouble adjusting. “She sometimes gets angry, screeches like a monkey and eats her food off the floor. She however is adapting to human world slowly,” a doctor attending to her said.
Police are reportedly trying to locate the girl in family.
