These kids are amazing. They were in a plane crash, their parents died, they survived a month, including keeping the one year alive.

Truly amazing!
Amazing indeed. The eldest must have shown extraordinary leadership skills as they were doubtless faced with incredible dangers every day, several times a day. To care for a 9,4,and 1 YO under those conditions is beyond remarkable.
Wow. Just wow.
“ Indigenous people joined the search operation and helicopters broadcasted a message from the children’s grandmother, recorded in the Huitoto language, urging them to stop moving to make them easier to locate.”

Stop moving? Hell, the kids had survived by being Hunter-gatherers… or at least gatherers—- to survive. Keeping on the move searching for new food sources is somewhat needed for “gathering”.
Props to the kids and props to the search teams who kept plugging away.
This reminds me of that Uruguayan rugby team who crashed in the Andes mountains in 1972, only without the cannibalism.
Les Stroud (Survivor Man) didn’t last his entire 7 days in the Amazon jungle iirc. On the sixth night he ran in the dark back to the remote village that had a wall around it after hearing a jaguar stalking him.
Amazing kids!
What on earth did they find for a one year old to eat?
p
I read somewhere that they are indigenous kids, which may be why they knew what to do and eat, and what not to eat, in the jungle. God bless them. Heroes! I hope they are interviewed and we learn more about their ordeal and survival methods after they get settled back home.
