Modern Mowgli. In India, a two-year-old boy made friends with a troop of monkeys (11 photos)

How two-year-old Samarth Bangari's friendship with gray langurs began, no one knows; One day, adults simply noticed that a child was sitting surrounded by 24 monkeys, treating them to food and communicating using sounds and facial expressions. Despite the fact that sometimes these animals can be aggressive, they clearly have sympathy for the boy.

Samarth cannot speak yet, but he has clearly found a common language with the monkeys.

The baby's relatives say that the animals come to him every day at the same time.

Even if he is sleeping, they wake him up and then sit and play with him for about an hour or two.

According to local residents, this behavior is not typical for gray langurs.

That's why a child's friendship with monkeys has attracted everyone's attention.

Now people specially come to the village where the boy lives to see modern Mowgli with their own eyes.

Everyone thinks he is a special child because he can communicate with animals in their language.

It is interesting that the monkeys refuse to accept other small children into their friendly company - they immediately begin to behave aggressively. They only want to be friends with Samarth.
