Well I was looking up on feral children (you know how everyone occasionally does) and I found a list of documented cases involving them. Note the one that I put in BOLD cuz i think its like the most awsum one, the rest are pretty cool too.... Joseph Amrito Lal Singh, Robert M. Zingg (1966). Wolf-Children and Feral Man.

She was seemingly brought up by apes or monkeys. Baby Hospital was unable to stand upright and crawled instead of walking, and ate directly from her bowl without using her hands. She made the chattering noises of apes or monkeys. Baby Hospital's arms and hands were reported to be well developed, but not her leg muscles. She resisted attempts to civilise her, instead spending much of her time in an activity that is very unusual for feral children: crying.[12] Saturday Mthiyane (Saturday Mifune) (1987) a boy of around 5 in the company of monkeys over a period of a year, in the Kwazulu-Natal province of South Africa.[13] Oxana Malaya, Ukraine, (1990s) raised with dogs until the age of 9.[14] Daniel, Andes Goat Boy (1990) found in Peru, and was said to have been raised by goats for eight years.[15] John Ssebunya, Uganda, (1991) raised by monkeys for several years in the Ugandan jungle.[16][17] Belo, the Nigerian Chimp Boy (1996) about 2 years of age, raised by chimpanzees for 1 1/2 years.[18] Ivan Mishukov (1998) found near Moscow, raised by dogs for two years, and had risen to being "alpha male" of the pack.[19] Edik, Ukraine, (1999) Edik was found by social workers apparently living with stray dogs in an apartment.[20] Alex the Dog Boy (2001) found in Talcahuano, Chile.[21] Traian Căldărar, Romania, (2002) lived 3 years of his childhood with wild dogs in the Romanian wilderness.[22] Andrei Tolstyk (2004) of Bespalovskoya, near Lake Baikal, Russia, abandoned by parents, to be raised by a guard dog.[23] Viktoria, Katharina and Elisabeth in Linz, Austria (discovered October 2006).

omg.. 50km per hour.. 833.3m/min, 13.8m/s?? that is faster than world 100m sprinters.. record: 100m, 9.74s.. 10.3m/s.. wonder if he develops any different physical traits.. or merely developed gazelle movement habits..
i think its lovely how animals adopt humans, shame the feral humans tend to die when taken away from their surrounding..
^ ya.. they all get confined.. wth.. should just leave them alone. if they can survive well with animals.. they don't need 'help'. anyway.. on the Syrian Gazelle-boy case, some say its hoax. others not. but considering difference in the bone structure, it is indeed difficult to imagine a boy run like a gazelle. there are reasons why man run on 2 feet and not 4..
maybeeee..... his bone structure was changedor sumfin cuz he was so young? lol i dunno but they say that if a baby doesnt learn to walk in the first few stages of his life then his bone structure will never allow him to walk properly ... FOREVER....
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I actually went and googled some of those cases... In fact, I didn't even know what "feral children" was! Got me sidetracked from my studying though...
