I'm pretty sure it was a short story, at least. It was about an adolescent alien undergoing a coming-of-age ritual on an inhospitable planet that wasn't his home planet. He was caught in some sort of scoop from a human ship, and put in a zoo of some sort where they matched the environmental settings to the harsh planet they found him on. At some point he escapes and shares what he calls 'race memories' with a baby human, things like fire and cities. I'm sorry I don't have more details. Any help would be much appreciated, since search engines don't seem to be cooperating today.
