Mum-of-two Marina Chapman says the colony of capuchins cared for her after she was kidnapped and then abandoned.
She survived by catching birds and rabbits with her bare hands until hunters found her.
They took Marina — who thinks she is 62 — to a nearby city and sold her to the brothel where she was groomed to become a prost*t*te.
But she managed to flee before having to sleep with a client — then escaped to Britain and settled in Bradford, West Yorks, where she worked as a housemaid.
Now Marina’s remarkable story has been made into a book and TV crews plan to make a documentary about her life.
Daughter Vanessa said: “It’s assumed the kidnap went wrong. All that mum remembers is being chloroformed with a hand over her mouth.
“Before that, all she can recall of her life is having a black doll.”
After coming to Britain, Marina met church organist John Chapman and they wed in 1977.
Vanessa says her mum brought them up in an unusual way. She said: “When we wanted food, we’d have to make noises.”
