Two young brothers aged seven and nine were miraculously found alive from Amazon rainforest after getting lost for more than four weeks.
The incident occurred in Brazil’s Amazonas state, where two brothers went to find small birds and then lost the track to return to their home.
After they failed to come home the authorities began a wide search of the Amazon rainforest in the country’s northwest – but called it off on February 26.
However, lucky for them that that a tree cutter found them four miles away from their home after he heard screams of one of the boys.
The man found the two boys lying on the rainforest floor, hungry and painfully thin, with skin abrasions. They told their parents they had eaten nothing while lost and had survived only by drinking rainwater.
While speaking to local media, the father of the children said that he was thrilled when he saw his children and was further taken aback by the size of the crowd who came to see his boys’ safe arrival.
