The extraordinarily wild tale of Simona Kossak - a Polish ecologist who lived alone in a primeval forest with a lynx she referred to as her daughter, a klepto crow, and a photographer lover
Think renegade Snowhite, Polish version of Jane Goodall, and a real life Wild Thornberry- Simona Kossak had a connection with nature and animals therefore earning her the title of ‘Witch.’ She fostered/mothered a plethora of orphaned animals including twin moose, a donkey named Hepunia, a 400lb boar named Froggy who shared her bed and table, and more
Simona was a nonconformist, boss babe who preferred peaceful seclusion and built her life rooted in empathy, ecology, and radical independence
