Amala and Kamala were two so-called "wolf-girls" - feral(野生の)children allegedly raised by a family of wolves before being found in 1920 near Calcutta, India, at eight and 18 months old, respectively. They were taken in by the rector of a local orphanage(孤児院), who documented his observations of them in a diary for almost 10 years and claimed that, like wolves, the girls were nocturnal(夜行性の), did not allow themselves to be dressed, and walked on all fours.
