 This is feral boy Dina Sanichar, found in 1867 in a jungle cave in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India: he preferred eating raw meat, growled like a wolf, and gnawed on bones to sharpen his teeth. 

He was allegedly the inspiration for Mowgli in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling https://image.nostr.build/cdb7bea5322b8d1f7fe2bae7a3b786bbb87c580e885d08dc86cd886a094b0eb5.jpg
