A man lived with wolves for 12 years, started feeling suffocated when he came among humans, now wants to return to the forest!

You must have seen films like Mowgli and Tarzan. In this way, you must have heard about many such cases when a human child was found in the forest, who grew up living among wild animals. Something similar happened with a Spanish man who lived in the mountains among wolves for years. But when he was brought into the human population, he started getting angry with the behavior and mannerisms of the people. He made up his mind to go to the forest again.

According to the report of Mirror website, Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja suddenly came into limelight when he was caught by the administration in the mountains of southern Spain. They lived there like animals. He claims that he was living with wolves in the mountains for 12 years. Because of this story of his, people call him Mowgli of Spain. Now he is 72 years old, but when they met, he was about 19 years old. He was rescued from the mountains of Sierra Morena.

The man started living alone in the mountains
When he was first seen, he was barefoot, wore very little clothes and used to communicate only by making strange noises with his mouth. Now Rodriguez lives alone in a small house. He says that the happiest memories of his life are when he used to live in the mountains with animals. The beginning of Rodriguez’s life was very tragic. When he was 3 years old, his mother passed away and later his father started living with another woman. When he was 7 years old, he was taken to the mountains to live with a shepherd and was asked to help him. He had about 100 goats. The man taught Rodriguez how to use simple tools, how to light a fire, and then suddenly disappeared or died. He left Rodriguez behind to live in the jungles.

Civil guard taken to human settlement
He told that when the animals became his friends, the wolves also adopted him. They slept in caves and shared the space with creatures like bats, snakes and deer. He said that the wolves helped him identify which berries or mushrooms were edible and which were not. He told that once he entered the cave and started playing with wolf cubs. When their mother came there, she first gave meat to her children and passed some of it towards them. At first he was scared that she might attack him, but the mother wolf started licking him. From that day the man also became a part of the pack of wolves. But when the Spanish Civil Guard saw him, they took him to a human settlement. Rodriguez says that he struggled a lot to live among humans. He believes that these people took advantage of him, treated him badly and even made fun of him because he did not know about common social things, like politics or football. Even after so many years, they find human society strange and want to return to the forests. However, once he returned to the middle of the mountains, the wolves did not recognize him because they must have smelled of humans.
