Dina Sanichar

A group of hunters discovered him among wolves in a cave in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India in February 1867,[1] around the age of six.

[2][3][4][5] Sanichar was sent to the Secundra orphanage at Agra, where he lived among other humans for over twenty years.

[10] It was reported that he initially walked on all fours and ate raw meat.

[3] He went on to live among other humans for over twenty years but never learned to speak, and remained seriously impaired his entire life.

[9] Sanichar may have been the inspiration for the character Mowgli in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.
