A Boy Raised by Monkeys Competed in the Special Olympics

- Tarzan, Mowgli - you know them all-too well on the big screen. But what about the real stories of children raised by animals? Are they just as adventurous and romantic as the movies show? The short answer is, no, not even close…
In 1991, a villager in Uganda discovered a child who seemed very odd. In fact, it was even difficult to tell that it was a boy she’d found because the child had long hair all over his body. His knees were white and callused, and his fingernails were long and curled. There were plenty of clues, but how could this simple villager know that she’d stumbled upon one of the rarest and most bizarre phenomena: feral children…

SUMMARY:
- A feral child, or what some refer to as a wild child, is a boy or girl who lived without any human contact for some time in their early formative years.
- They often walk on all fours like their adoptive animal family, and they sometimes even look more like them!
- His name would be John Ssebunya. When he was eventually able to speak, experts came to know of his story. Apparently, he’d run away from an unstable home when he was just a toddler.
- He was adopted by the monkeys, and they’d take care of him for the next 3 years.
- They taught him how to survive by climbing trees and, of course, how to find food. He certainly was loved by the primates.
- In the end, tearing the boy away from his jungle home likely ended up saving his life. And that’s because not long after they found him, they discovered that he had some dangerous parasites in his gut!
- The very first-time humans tried to communicate with him, the boy only responded through screaming and biting, which scared most of them away.
- When scientists started studying this case even further, they found that, despite his limited English, Ssebunya seemed to be fluent when communicating with the monkeys that had adopted him!
- John did have some delays in his mental development. But even with that, he was able to achieve so much despite it all!
- His caretakers couldn’t help but notice that he’s in incredible physical shape and quite a good runner. With the help of trainers, he competed in the Special Olympics not once but twice!
- Aside from being good at sports, he’s also gifted with a beautiful singing voice.
- Despite his traumatic childhood, years of living completely isolated from society with all its safety and conveniences, and the long difficult road to rehabilitation, Ssebunya is still a kind man with a good heart.
- In a 2013 interview, Ssebunya said that he’s living peacefully in his house and owns a couple of cows. He told the interviewer that he wanted to settle down, have kids, and start a family of his own.

Bright Side:Playing with his 4 legged Friends...

I hope he went back to thank and gift the monkeys. They are incredible.
The resiliancy of a human being is what I think Sesebunya reflects the most.
“They offered him some sweet potatoes”

Hakuna Matata!
He has had an amazing life no bullies in school and survived all odds at a very young age well done keep staying positive & happy because the people and the world need kindness and happiness :)
I have heard this word in a ad
I don’t know why I got so excited when I heard talk about Uganda 🇺🇬,coz I rarely see anything about Ug on such big western channels (except in Ugandan and some other African )
Bright side:"and even talking to their four legged friends"
me:so is a snake four legged? HMMM...........
They used to be
The name of the Uganda boy is -john ssebunya ( cebunya) not secbunya
Is there a full story on him
ALLOY GSM lol 😂 to Alloy GSM
AVienna K-Dub yeah
Its a full story ...
@@africangegeea send a link
@@A0.917 there was a documentary about him. He now lives by himself and needs financial aid.
I truly love learning new stories. ❤️
Woof
John ssebunya, I'm lucky I got to witness this. we studied in the same school in Kampala. He was an amazing person.
Lie hie was was an adult when he was in 1999
Allana Burke , I was still in primary, and yes he was old by the time they brought him, only his mind wasn't developed yet to understand human nature.
Tarzan + john = usain bolt.
His story is considered unusual, and being bullied. But I think he had the most colorful "Life" than most of us.. no counting of time, running on the jungle with the wild, travelling the world for sports, and even a choir?? That's beautiful. You bullies are lucky he didn't call his wild family when you gang up on him. Cause I bet 1 distress call from him would bring apocalypse to your towns.
Nice and interesting video. I liked it.😊 Keep up the good work and I really appreciate your talent.😊😊
Yeah! I think it is the most interesting video of bright side till now
This isn’t my first time hearing about this story. First time I ever heard of it was on Animal Planet
thumbnail literally made me 2 think that boy was ussain bolt

You should stop playing robloxfor a while. Go play something else.
@@randomshuffles1074 id say r6s but if you dont have the money for that warframe could be a good one, sadly fortnite still exists so that could still work, and epic games store gives out free games every thursday, ive gotten subnautica from them and many other good games, this week is this war of mine and next week is for honor which is one of my top 5 games atm
That's gave me a goosebumps.Wondeful!
3:38, he could have been sick from the drastic change in diet, or maybe perhaps it was the fact he eats the bowl along with the food.
So true 😂

I say yes animals similar to humans can raise children
I thought it was bolt by looking tumbnail
"Four legged friends" *puts drawing of snake*
There have been other attempts to bring feral children into mainstream life they have that turned out not so pleasantly. This person had some human interaction before he went Feral although a brief time it was enough to bring him back. Others are not so lucky where the feral child ends up living in psychiatric institutions for the remaining portion of their lives. When a feral children is brought back for a brief moment , they then should be allowed to go back and live their lives in the wild.Think about it would you rather live in the wild or would you rather live in a psychiatric institution? I think the answer is obvious.
Who wonders what he looks now in 2019? 🤔

Hey there, BrightSiders! What would you tell this boy if you met him
i would ask him to teach me monkey bars and be perfect
How do you make such video .tell me .is it after effects I
Or something else
"four legged friends" shows snake
You guys mixed up two stories. There were two boys from Uganda, John and Robert. Robert is the one who spent 3 years with the monkeys.
i am a 10 year old commenting
no kidding
i am 9
I'm 14
This is amazing story he overcame a lot.
Well then if he's a Ugandan, why is the boy a brown haired Caucasian when he was discovered?
Nalongo is a title given to a mother who has given birth to twins, its not a name its a title. Thank u
Wish they could have left the boy alone!!!!! It makes me mad just think of how he could have been influenced as an adult by these monkeys😡
Wow something new
It was me lol
The origin of tarzan.XD
Tarzan!!!!
Beautiful video. In the near future you can make a video about Denmark and its economic system. Please 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

I got 2 friends that are from uganda
He is me cause half the time I’m on all fours
yes it can be he's extra talented
Yes it's true.
How comes I was in Uganda and no one told me about this story
What is Tarzan with real life
"despite his limited English" wth? That's pure American ignorance. It should have been "despite his limited language".
Maybe he was talking about literal english? Dumfuck
@@kuroki7338 you could have said that in a more polite way
in response you have advanced ai robots that can both make intelligent and agile athletes?
