Dina Sanichar (1860 or 1861–1895) was a feral child. Sanichar was discovered by a group of hunters among wolves in a cave in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India in February 1867,[1] at the age of around six.[2][3][4][5] Sanichar was taken to Sikandra Mission Orphanage[6] where he was given the name "Sanichar" because he arrived on a Saturday.[7] When he arrived at the orphanage, he reportedly walked on all fours and ate raw meat.[8] While he could not speak, he would make sounds similar to a wolf.[3] He went on to live among other humans for over twenty years but never learned to speak and remained seriously impaired his entire life.[4][9] Sanichar was a heavy smoker.[10] He died of tuberculosis in 1895.[6]
