When Marina Chapman was just four years old, she was abducted near her home in Colombia and left abandoned in the rainforest.

There, she spent the next five years being raised by a family of capuchin monkeys. Initially, the group merely tolerated her presence without fully accepting her.

However, after a severe bout of food poisoning, an older monkey led her to drink muddy water to induce vomiting.

This event marked a turning point, and she was soon accepted as part of the family.

They began to groom her as one of their own, and she learned to climb trees, scavenge for fruit and berries, and catch small animals with her bare hands.

By the time she was found and rescued from the jungle, she had entirely forgotten her native Spanish and preferred to walk on all fours.
