Victor
Victor is also known as the Wild Boy of Aveyron. He was first seen in the wild close to the end of the 18th century in the south of France in the woods of Saint Sernin sur Rance. Victor was captured on January 8, 1800, after evading capture once before. It was estimated that Victor was 12 years old at the time. He had scars all over his body and did not speak. People came from all over to study the wild boy.
One biology professor wanted to study his resistance to cold weather, so he sent him outside in the snow completely naked, which seemed to have no effect on him at all. Many others tried to teach Victor how to speak and act like a normal child, but they were all unsuccessful. It is estimated that he had spent seven years on his own in the wild and might have known how to talk when he was younger. Victor spent the rest of his life in a Paris institution before dying when he was 40 years old.
