In 1725 a boy called Peter the Wild Boy was found in a wood near Hanover and described as about 13, walking on hands and feet, living in trees, eating grass and moss, and speechless. He was taken to England in 1726, exhibited to King George I, and placed under a farmer with a pension. He reportedly understood animal and bird language, showed sharp senses, and died in 1785.

Giant's Causeway a World Wonder on Ireland's North Coast
The Giant's Causeway in Ireland features about 40 000 basalt columns forming perpendicular cliffs up to 500 feet high. Columns range 15 to 36 feet tall and 15 to 30 inches in diameter, mostly pentagonal or hexagonal, appearing carved by design rather than natural forces. The site lies near Bengore head eight miles from Portrush, linked to a legend of a giant bridge to Scotland. Geologists note a Tertiary period basalt upheaval with erosion shaping the landscape.
