'Wild Cambodia jungle-girl' found
A Cambodian girl who disappeared aged eight has been found after living wild in the jungle for 19 years, police say.
Local police said the woman was "half-human and half-animal" and could not speak any intelligible language.
"When I saw her, she was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey... She was bare bones.

-interesting that there are many similar cases of humans being raised by wild animals.

Perhaps she was cavorting with the dinosaurs hidden away in the forest...

Well, of course, that goes without saying as it is the Muslims that are hiding the dinosaurs in the forests of Cambodia...

Yes. Exactly right. And Cambodia ought to adjust her immigration policies to keep out the Muslim hordes as soon as possible.

She doesn't look very wild in the photo, just sort of bored.

She wants to return to the jungle. Should she be allowed to do that?
