Ugandan Boy Raised By Monkeys Tries To Adapt (photos)

It is believed that his parents were killed in 1982 during the war and
the boy was abandoned in the forest. He was believed to be about three
years old when he was left alone and lived in the wild for another
three years.

As the soldiers roamed about the bushes, they spotted what looked
unmistakably like a human being among the monkeys. They had to
disperse the monkeys in order to rescue the boy, but it was a struggle
because the monkeys put up a fight.

Mayanja has learnt rudimentary life skills like toilet manners. He
knows when it is time for toilet and does not soil himself. He walks
to the toilet door and waits for someone to help him. He likes
sunbathing and staying in isolation and sometimes makes monkey-like
sounds.
