WILD THING

A Cambodian woman who disappeared at the age of eight has been found after spending the past 19 years living wild in the jungle. Police said the woman was “half-human and half-animal” and could not speak any intelligible language when they found her. She was, however, able to be identified as Ro Cham H’pnhieng thanks to a large scar across her back which her father recognized. Not surprisingly, the woman is not interested in wearing clothes and hanging out with humans. “She prefers to crawl rather than walk...” said the the district police chief. “Unfortunately, she keeps crying and wants to go back to the jungle.” (BBC)
