It was unclear as of Saturday morning who found the children or how they managed to survive for so long in a thick jungle that is prone to heavy rains and contains jaguars and poisonous snakes.
A miraculous outcome no matter what, the children are members of the Huitoto Indigenous community, and used their experience in the rainforest to survive.
