Baboon Boy Lucas Brought Up By Monkeys In South Africa

A boy seized by baboons as an infant on a Kraal was raised by a troop. After capture by Cape Police near the South East Cape Drovines, he was housed in a mental hospital and named James. Now known as Lucas, he works on a farm, eats wild foods, walks on all fours, and shows simian features. His keeper Mr. G A Smith praises his industry and reliability, while Lucas recalls his old days with mixed clarity and intense bond to his monkey foster family.
