I'm Sorry, but I Find This Really Hard to Believe

I'm watching Tarzan right now so I decided to look this up, but even though we're really similar to each other and both members of the primate family, I highly doubt that a gorilla could raise a human child. Sure they probably could take care of them for awhile like in the following video, but not until they reached adulthood.

No, I am not Naruto lol (although I may roleplay as him sometimes) That's his catchphrase.

And yes it was wolves who raised Mowgli in The Jungle Book. Ever seen the live action one before? It's pretty good.

 

[Tessa]

Yes seen it. Loved the book too. That's the kind of make believe I really like.

Science considers the story of Amala and Kamala one of the better documented cases of kids raised by animals:

But from birth to adulthood? It doesn't seem that there are documented stories. We also cannot prove at what age they started living in the wilderness. Many of the cases they went missing as children (kidnapped, fell in a river, etc.) or were abandoned by their parents and were living with and being taken care of for a number of years.

What I want to know is how those wolves managed to change their diapers. That is if they had them since infancy.

Where would they get diapers from

Idk, doesn't the stork supply them or something lol

I would assume they did not have any. After all, we are one of the few countries that use disposable diapers. Some other countries go completely diaperless to this day.

That's a nice image lol, but I guess that just goes to show how many things we take for granted.

 

[Tessa]

Wow wonder how they manage.

Nothing wrong with it, less diapers in landfills and oceans, and rare diaper rash occurences. It just is not exactly accepted in western culture.

They still have cloth diapers. They are a bit different now a days. You can still do prefolds and pins, but most of them have cute covers, an absorbable insert, and adjustable snaps.

Usually you put the used ones in a wet or dry bucket before washing. Many mom's that use them tend to suggest using a little hose that attached to the toilet tank to rinse off over the toilet before a wash.

Unfortunately, they are a bit too warm for a little baby to wear here. Clothes can be hard to fit (mostly onesies), and they might be too bulky in a car seat.
