Feral Children: Gazelle Boys: Fact or Hoax?

Ever hear of the gazelle boy?There's actually several documented cases of feral children involving gazelles, and each are called "the gazelle boy." Many true cases of feral children abound, namely children being abandoned by parents and ending up in the wilderness with wolves, monkeys or dogs. These are entirely believable, as long as some "wolf boy" isn't reputed to have fought off attacking dogs by biting them. But stories of gazelle boys? There are flaws in these stories of feral children with gazelles. Now, a number of feral children accounts have either turned out to be hoaxes, or are very questionable, due to conflicting and vague information.

On the other hand, many cases of feral children are well-documented and true. But I just can't believe gazelle boy stories, because the stories say these gazelle boys could sprint 50 mph! Now, wolf and canine feral children have proven to have exceptional senses of smell, sight and hearing. Monkey feral children have exceptional tree-climbing ability. But gazelle boys running 50 mph?

Saharan Gazelle Boy: age when found: 10. Date found: 1960. Jeep had to go 52-54 kph to keep up with him.

Syrian Gazelle Boy: age when found: 10. Running speed: 50 mph.

Olympic sprinters achieve speeds of only 25 mph, and that's with science-based training and top nutrition. Gazelle boys are out in the harsh wild, exposed to harsh elements, and have a very incomplete diet. This right off the bat gives gazelle boys a physical disadvantage.

One might argue that a child ending up with gazelles would have plenty of time to practice running: gazelles run for a living, no?

If these gazelle boys were found at age 10 and by then sprinting 50 mph, let's then assume they'd been among the gazelles since early childhood. Explain how a newly abandoned small child, then, would be able to just suddenly up-and-sprint alongside gazelles.
