| abstract | - Alice is on a date with Bob. She tells him that she has an adopted son and that he's "different". Bob asssures her that he loves kids and that he'd love to meet hers. Alice takes Bob to her home and introduces him to her son...who turns out to be a chimpanzee. Essentially, this is an inversion of Raised by Wolves. Only, instead of animals raising people, people raise animals. This is especially common in Funny Animal shows, books, and movies. How well the animal intergrades into human society also varies as well. Sometimes, the animal still acts like an animal, but views the humans that raised it as family and will protect them. Other times, the animal may end up acting like a human and/or even believing they are human until shown otherwise. Most of the time, this is simply due to a human character adopting a non-human baby to care for. However, though rarer, some fictional stories actually have the non-human baby's biological parent(s) actually be human (It's best not to think about it too hard) See also Muggle Foster Parents, where the adopted child is not an animal, but isn't a normal human either. Examples of Raised by Humans include:
