BBC News - German police seek help over mystery 'forest boy'. Also, I give you info about worse cases: FERAL CHILDREN. Many famous examples were proven to be HOAXES, but here's a TRUE CASE: "Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc, the Wild Girl of Songi, also known as the Wild Girl of Champagne (France, 1731).[9]:41-48[10] This is the only case of a child having survived 10 years in the forests (from November 1721 to September 1731),[citation needed] and the only feral child who succeeded in a complete intellectual rehabilitation,[citation needed] having learned to read and to write. According to biographer Serge Aroles, Marie-Angelique was 19 years old when she was captured, learned to read and write, and died rich on December 15, 1775 at the age of 63.[14] An Amerindian from Wisconsin (then a French colony), she was brought to France by a lady living in Canada and then escaped into the woods of Provence in 1721.[citation needed]". Also, I show you 3 MCs /DORINCARDS with MOWGLI, from DISNEY & KIPLING

"Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc, the Wild Girl of Songi, also known as the Wild Girl of Champagne (France, 1731).[9]:41-48[10]
This is the only case of a child having survived 10 years in the forests (from November 1721 to September 1731),[citation needed] and the only feral child who succeeded in a complete intellectual rehabilitation,[citation needed] having learned to read and to write.
According to biographer Serge Aroles, Marie-Angelique was 19 years old when she was captured, learned to read and write, and died rich on December 15, 1775 at the age of 63.[14]
An Amerindian from Wisconsin (then a French colony), she was brought to France by a lady living in Canada and then escaped [at age 9] into the woods of Provence in 1721.[citation needed]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_children

"Mowgli syndrome is a term used by Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty in her 1995 book Other Peoples' Myths: The Cave of Echoes to describe mythological figures who succeed in bridging the animal and human worlds to become one with nature, a human animal, only to become trapped between the two worlds, not completely animal yet not entirely human.[1]

It is also a rarely used descriptive term for so-called feral children; "Mowgli syndrome" is not a recognized psychological or physiological malady. The term originates from the character Mowgli, a fictional feral child from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book."
Now, my 3 non-FIP MCs with 3 different stamps from BHUTAN and a Disney stamp from USA, just to get the Disney pictorial postmark:
My non-traditional MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD with MOWGLI, from DISNEY & KIPLING.
At the time of that postmarking, 2006, USPS did not have yet a JUNGLE BOOK stamp, so I used one from BHUTAN.
USPS (unlike Royal Mail UK) officially allows a foreign stamp to be postmarked in the same stroke with one of its own (American, in this case).

Look closely, and you'll see that the bear's tongue is PINK, is it not? :)

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
