I had an event where a savage child appeared (a boy)on my island. Lured him with food, uses alot, but he became a member of my village.

As soon as I read the opening of the game (villagers fell through a hole) I thought "I wonder if that could happen later as an event?") - was my first event in my second game. I've had the savage boy on another game, too. Can you get a savage girl? Are the savages always the same age (the barrel babies seemed to be on the first VV game, but I only got that event three or four times, so it may have been coincidence)
