Russian police are hunting a "werewolf boy" - who snarls and bites - after he escaped from a Moscow clinic just a day after being rescued from the wild.
Doctors expressed shock saying he was found living with a pack of wolves in a remote forest in the Kaluga region of central Russia.
The 'werewolf boy' has escaped from a Moscow clinic just a day after he was found. It is thought he was raised by wolves and his toenails are like claws
"He's clearly dangerous to other people," said a police spokesman yesterday.
"He's got typical wolf-like habits and behaviour.
"He has very strong and sharp teeth, which could really endanger someone if he bites."
The boy looks about ten - but after tests conducted by Moscow medics, they believe he maybe much older.
They are puzzled because he appears intelligent but does not seem to speak Russian or any other language. It is suspected he has been running wild for many years.
Such cases are not uncommon in Russia where there have been regular reports of 'Mowgli' children abandoned by their parents who are cared for by animals.
The boy moves around with his legs half bent, said Tvoi Den newspaper. "He was running with wolves and searching for food with them."
Villagers found this "wild creature" in a lair made of leaves and sticks in freezing temperatures and told the police who named him Lyokha, though his real identity is not known.

"He's dirty, hungry, and looked to have had a hard time," said the police spokesman. "We brought him to a clinic in Moscow.
"It was simply unbelievable. He doesn't react when we call to him." Medics gave him clothes and said that he sprang down the corridor, bursting into his room and devouring his food like an animal.
His nails on his feet were like claws.
After 24 hours he had evaded security men at the clinic and escaped. He is now believed to be on the loose in Moscow region.
"We didn't even manage to complete the proper medical checks. We only succeeded in giving him a shower, cutting his nails and took some blood and other tests," said a doctor.
"It's quite possible he is a dangerous with psychological problems but also a source of viruses and infections."
Tomorrow is a full Moon!
This is more for Oct. 31, not Dec. 22. And what’s with the big toe the size of a club? They missed that in Photoshop ;).
The aptness of this description to Vladimir Putin is amazing. Could he be Vlad's love child?
“dangerous with psychological problems”
Alright, who sold them the clue?
Feral child
What do you think? :)
Not a Werewolf Boy Ping!
Hillary Love Child?
Those feet don’t go with that face.
They missed this part of the story:
“In a later report, the child was determined to be from the Ukranian town of Chernobyl, and purportedly glows in the dark”
John Gato has pretty much said that a kid would be better off living in the jungle being raised by chimpanzees like Tarzan than attending today’s public schools. This kid might be the lucky one.
Raised by wolves....hmmm better than a bunch of commie thugs...
Raised with wolves??? More likely, dumped in the woods a couple of years ago or his parents died and he was on his own.
a real hobbit!!!
