Of wolves and man - Feral children

[peter]

In my previous post (Hewett's information on feral children), I wrote India, regarding wolves and man, seemed to be the exception to the rule. I never heard about wolf children in other parts of the world in recent years.

I did hear about wolves and man in Russia, Europe and North-America in the recent past. I didn't read anything on wolves preying on humans in North-Ameria, but in Europe and, in particular, Russia, it's another story.

In western parts of Europe, wolves preyed on humans not so long ago. In the Baltic, they apparently still do. The stories I read are not inventions, but facts registered by, for example, clerical institutions.

Some time ago, I read about wolves and man in India. Although they have disappeared in many parts of India, wolves still hunt children in some parts of India. This is a photograph of a boy mauled by a wolf:
