Kamala and Amala
Kamala and Amala were famous wolf-children who were captured in October of 1920. They were found near Godamuri, which is west of Calcutta, India, in an abandoned ant-hill where wolves were squatting. Reverend Joseph Amrito Lal Singh, who was an Anglican missionary, led villagers to capture the two girls. They shot the mother wolf and captured the girls, who they named Kamala, eight, and Amala, two.
Singh said that the wolf-girls had eyes like dogs and cats that have a blue glare in the dark, jaws that were misshapen, and elongated canine teeth. Amala ended up dying the year after the girls were captured from a kidney infection, but Kamala lived until 1929. In those nine years, it is said that she had finally given up eating carrion, walked upright, and could speak approximately 50 words. The story of the girls has since come under scrutiny, with many doubting the veracity of the story as told by Mr. Singh.
