Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja (1946–2026) was a Spanish feral child who, after being sold to a solitary goatherd in 1954 at age seven, survived alone in the Sierra Morena mountains for over a decade—living with wolves and learning their noises—until the Civil Guard found him in 1965, bound and gagged because he howled and bit like a wild animal. His extraordinary case became the subject of an anthropologist Gabriel Janer Manila's PhD thesis He Jugado con Lotos ("I Have Played with Wolves") and later inspired the film Entrelobos (Among Wolves), in which Pantoja briefly appears. After returning to civilization, he struggled to adapt, suffering financial exploitation by acquaintances, but eventually found a father figure in retired police officer Manuel Barandela Losada. In a March 2018 interview, he expressed deep disappointment with human nature, wishing he could retreat back to the mountains. Pantoja died on 15 August 2026 at age 80, having spent his later years sharing his remarkable experience through talks and interviews.
