'Mowgli' Girl Found Living With Monkeys in India Walks On All Fours, Doesn't Speak Language

A girl living with a group of monkeys in a wildlife sanctuary was found by police near the Nepalese border in India. Now the girl -- who didn't appear to understand any language and was walking on all fours -- has been dubbed a "real life Mowgli" after the feral child from Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book." Officers found the girl with a pack of wild monkeys two months ago, while performing a routine patrol in the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary near the Nepalese border, authorities told the Times of India. When officers tried to communicate with the girl, she and the monkeys both screeched at the approaching humans. Authorities were eventually able to convince her to come with them, and she has been recuperating in a local hospital ever since.
