i dont know about you, but i cant really smell urine if someone pissed in the wild. afaik, we dont really have a nose for such a thing.

animals do that soo they don't run into each other by mistake or warning same sht...we on the other hand hide instinctually so we do not get hunted by predators. plus we do not like the smell..

if you piss in same spot 3 times a day you will smell it in time

Thanks for all the replies, pretty interesting when you compare one animal to another (humans -> wild animals) :X

I gets real interesting when you read about feral children, which are children who some how are raised in the wild. There's never a perfectly feral child, because a newborn wouldn't survive. But there are cases of toddlers who's parents got killed or something and they were raised by monkeys.

Yeah I watched the documentary about the one kid who was raised by wolves or something a long time ago. They did lots of studies. I forgot the name of that specific case. But the most interesting part I found about that specific one was that he was more comfortable with no clothes on in the blistering cold, rather than wearing warm material.

The second one was a girl whose parents locked her up for a long long time. she was locked in a room, most of the day, until she was 14-15? something like that. Stuck in a chair, she had no education, anything. Lots of support groups tried helping her out but it's really interesting that once the brains developed to a certain point you can't teach it to think differently no matter how hard you tried. There was a team of like 14-30 psychologists and rehabilitationists that worked with her for YEARS! and no matter how much progress they made, she was stuck and not going to fully develop.

Very interesting indeed. The girl's name was Genie. The male i'm still looking for.

I looked up the documentary on Genie. Absolutely fascinating.

And the child you're referring to is Victor. He wasn't actually raised by wolves, but he was indeed feral. Scars all over him from fighting with other animals and the like.

But you're right about the clothing. He was content being naked in the snow.
