This surprising evolution in so little time makes us suspect that in reality the girl has not lived with the monkeys for as long as in the case of fiction novels like The Jungle Book or Tarzan, and that surely had been abandoned for being mentally diminished, which makes it even more surprising if possible, because the animals are capable of showing compassion towards a helpless person of another species, accepting it and welcoming it as one more without making differences in age, sex, race or ability demonstrates that animals may have more awareness and better feelings than many humans ...Who, without going any further those, who were able to abandon that poor girl to her fate just for suffering from some deficiency.Don't you think?
