Second Lithuanian bear boy

The Bear Girl of Fraumark

Found in a cave

In 1767 the inhabitants of Fraumark in lower Hungary, pursuing a bear in the mountains, came to a cave in which a completely naked wild girl was found. She was tall, robust, and seemed to be about eighteen years old. Her skin was brown and she looked frightened.

Ate raw meat

Her behavior was very crude. Although they had to use violence to make her leave the cave, like many other feral children the Bear Girl of Fraumark didn't cry or shed any tears. Finally they succeeded in bringing her to Karpfen, a small town in the county of Atlsohl, where she was locked up in an asylum. In common with other feral children, she would only eat raw meat.
