Feral Girl - Siberia , RUSSIA

.
Russian police have found a 5-year-old girl who has been shut up in a flat in the company of cats and dogs for her entire life. The girl, who lived in the Eastern Siberian city of Chita, could not speak Russian and acted like a dog when police took her into care. For five years, the girl was 'brought up' by several dogs and cats and had never been outside. The unwashed girl was dressed in filthy clothes, had the clear attributes of an animal and jumped at people. The flat had no heat, water or sewage system. The girl, known as Natasha, is being monitored by sychologists in an orphanage. Her mother was being questioned but her father has not been found yet. She appears to be about two years old, though her real age is five. She refuses to eat with a spoon and has taken on many of the gestures of the animals with which she lived. When carers leave the room, the girl jumps at the door and barks.
