Ramu, der zweite Wolfsjunge von Lucknow

Ramu wurde in 1954 gefunden, wahrscheinlich in einem Dritte-Klasse-Warteraum des Locknower Bahnhofes, und wurde am 17 Januar in das Balrampur Krankenhaus gebracht. Er war ungefähr 10 - 12 Jahre alt.

Ramu's wilde Zeichen ???

Wie viele wilde kinder hatte Ramu eine dicke Hornhaut auf Händen und Knieen. Es ist berichtet das er über spitze Zähne verfügte und Narben in seinem Genick hatte. Er konnte nicht sprechen und machte stattdessen tierische Laute. Ramu mochte nur Früchte und Fleisch als er nach Balrampur gebracht wurde, doch nach ein paar Wochen a� er auch gekochtes Gemüse und Brot.

Mit seinen Eltern wiedervereinigt ???

Der folgende Bericht ist aus The Hindu, vom 10. Februar 1954:

The seven-year-old 'Wolf Boy', who has been an inmate at the local Balrampur Hospital since January 17, has found his parents. It is claimed they belong to the Khatick community and live in Lucknow. According to them, Ramu, as this child is known, was snatched away by a wolf when asleep from the lap of his mother one night six years ago. Frantic efforts were made to trace him, and finally he was believed to have died. A chance visit to Balrampur Hospital following press reports led to the recognition of the 'Wolf Boy' by his parents, who identified him by a mark over his forehead and a bluish patch on his right thigh.

Ramu's affinity with wolves

Ramu was not interested in the company of other humans and particularly feared adults, but when taken on an outing to the zoo became very excited by the wolves. This, together with the fact that Ramu lapped milk from a glass, tore his food apart and was happy to chew on bones for hours, suggested to doctors that he had been brought up by wolves.
