He Fled To The Jungle During Vietnam War & Lived In Isolation For 41 Yrs, This Is The Story Of 'Real-life Tarzan'

After a bomb killed his mother and sister, a now 46-year-old Ho Van Lang, or the "real-life Tarzan" had stepped away from civilisation at the end of Vietnam War and into a jungle where he stayed put for 41 years.

According to Mirror, he only had his brother Tri and dad for company during his stay in the jungle Tay Tra district of Quang Ngai province. After readjusting to life in a Vietnam village in 2015, the family has chosen the green confines of the jungle yet again.

"They always escaped when they saw people from a distance," Alvaro Cerezo, a photographer, told Mirror.

All the while, he was never told what a woman is. "Today, despite being able to distinguish between men and women, he still doesn¡¯t know the essential difference between them," Cerezo had told news.com.au back in 2016.

"I can confirm that Lang has never had the minimum sexual desire and his reproductive instinct has never shown its head in any of its many facets," he'd added.

His brother, too, called Lang a "baby in a man¡¯s body."

"Lang is just a child. He doesn¡¯t know anything. Most people know what is good or bad in life, but my brother doesn¡¯t," he explained.
