      No, she was lucky those wild animals treated her this way. She would've been torn to pieces almost any other time, just like most vulnerable humans were, before civilisation offered a place of safety. Sure, humans...OR...more specifically, the human animal can be just as brutal as a wild animal, but don't paint humanity as some kind of living virus.

There is no way a 4 year old could survive 5 years in a jungle by themself without human interaction. I bet the time scale is much lower she might have been in the jungle a month tops no way 5 years.

      Towards the end somehow yes, I would like to claim that there are countless moments from her past, which she keeps mentally catapulting back to this time when she tells or describes them. Who knows how many traumatizing experiences she had during that time. Beginning with the first time of being alone, possibly bad deeds of humans towards the animal (poachers, etc.), as we know them from documentaries or films, up to the unimaginable contrast of the change from nature to humans. I think these are those typical moments in life that no one can understand if they weren't there, which in the end means that you don't even start telling it, even though you'd like to. I can't paraphrase it better, sorry. You are to blame. 👈😄

      they live on instincts and cannot make a full judgement of their actions, primal instincts override learned behavior
      else yes, its awesome to interact with animals but we still need to understand that humans are humans, animals are animals
      we are not volatile creatures, they are
      respect their behaviour and enviroment, and they do the same
      dont make animals act human, nor act like animal

    At first I didn't believe her but as I listened to her story I really do believe her. And to think she was able to soften her heart to humans after all that was done to her is really a testimony to forgiveness and healing. God Bless Her.

      Same…Although I enjoyed the story, I felt the jungle part was likely slightly over embellished. The more I listen towards the end… I believed her although I doubt it was 4 to 5 years she was there….who knows. Doesn’t take away from the story ❤

      ​@@CMichelleWhite children do not have the same perception of time...I take myself as an example, when I was 6 yo I moved to a new city and lived in a neighborhood and eventually moved to a new one. When i was older i was having a conversation with my parents and told them that i remember spending a year or at least half a year in that first neighborhood, but apparently it was only ONE month...i`m still shocked by this day, cause in my memory i spent SO much time there...
