I hope they can still find Wilson, the rescue dog. Its tracks led the rescuers to the children. <a href="https://www.elpais.com.co/colombia/el-perro-wilson-se-mantiene-zozobra-por-desaparicion-del-canino-no-se-le-vio-junto-a-los-ninos-indigenas-en-la-selva-del-guaviare-0949.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.elpais.com.co/colombia/el-perro-wilson-se-mantie...</a>
Finally since good news :)<p>Surprised that a 13 years old was able to take care of 3 small children in a jungle full of snakes and jaguars for 40 days. How was he able to keep the toddler alive? What do you feed someone that young in a jungle??
One thing I feel is missing from the article is how brutal the conditions (for the kids and the rescue team) must have been. Extreme heat and humidity are no joke.
> The bodies of the three adults were found at the crash site by the army, but it appeared that the children had escaped the wreckage and wandered into the rainforest to find help.<p>PSA I’m no expert but as a kid I was taught to stay where you were if you got lost. And this seems to demonstrate that.
I was vaguely tracking this through Reddit for a while, and I thought the consensus was that they falsely claimed they found the children and it turned out to be a big political lie. Glad to hear it finally happened.
A child was abandoned in the colombian jungle at the age of 4 and lived in the jungle, raised by monkeys, for 5 years.<p><a href="https://allthatsinteresting.com/marina-chapman" rel="nofollow">https://allthatsinteresting.com/marina-chapman</a>
As far as indigenous people are concerned,the jungle is a grocery store and a 13 year old would know what's in season an where to look for it. I don't think the kids had anything to hunt with; so, no meat.
