It's possible.
Wasn't there a boy raised by wolves, or was that a movie as well?.
Don't really know. I suppose if the mother ape had just lost her baby and her hormones were going crazy, and she found a human baby, she might well raise it as her own. Afterall, we do look very similar.

Yeh. There have beeen documentaries of people being brought up by all sorts of wild animals, even wolves. There was one women grew up in the wild & howled like a wolf, and couldnt stand as she was used to walking on all fours. Very weird but true!!!

NO, an infant could not survive being brought up by apes. They are not human after all and besides, an infant couldnt withstand the temperatures of the outdoors.

Hehe. It could be possible i suppose. A female tiger, who had lost her cubs, recently adopted one of those baby deer things they usually chase after and eat.
However the adult baby would probably be a bit of an monkey boy idiot.

it could but it couldnt. apes are alike but so different than humans... they could help you survive, but being raised will be hard,... learning math and stuff, an ape cant teach you things that humans can.. but hey, you never know though..

Apes would sure like to think they'd be successful at it.

Yes, they're called feral children. When rescued they have trouble adjusting.

No, apes would abandon you. Try wolves instead.
