How many authenticated cases are there of children being raised by feral animals?

Here is an extensive list. http://www.feralchildren.com/en/children.php No matter how fascinating, scientifically interesting or even romantic some of these stories seem, it isn't much fun to be a feral child, wolf boy or wild girl. We shouldn't forget that all these children have been abandoned, neglected or even cruelly abused: some of the stories are quite harrowing. Feb 23 10, 1:30 AM

One was given the name 'Baloo'! On discovery, Shamdeo (called Shamdev by Chatwin, and later re-named Pascal and also Baloo), had very dark skin, fingernails grown into claws, a tangle of matted hair and callouses on his palms, elbows and knees. Although he ran quickly on all fours, he couldn't escape Singh who captured him and took him home. http://www.feralchildren.com/en/showchild.php?ch=shamdeo Feb 23 10, 9:37 AM

But the question doesn't ask about feral children. It asks about children raised by feral animals. I've never heard of a feral animal raising a human child. Tarzan was raised by apes and Mowgli by wolves, but they were fictitious children and the animals were wild, not feral. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral Feb 23 10, 11:02 AM
