Apparently the searchers had found child footprints.
I'd guess somebody's going to make a movie about the children surviving in the Amazon for 40 days. The oldest is the real hero. He or she had routinely cared for the younger children back home, so knew how to feed them.

She knew how to care for the infant at home where there was baby formula. How do you suspect that baby survived without that?

Unless I read the article wrong, it does state the children are from an indigenous tribe and they are taught at a young age on how to live in the jungle and to know what fruits and berries to eat. So, most likely the oldest was able to keep the baby going fine with fruits and water.

Right! But I also dived deeper into this and watched several youtube reportings on this. It's just a miracle the kids survived because the Amazon can be a very dangerous place with all the deadly animals and the human/drug trafficking that goes on in there.

That's what an article I read said; that "it wasn't clear" how the kids survived, given the myriad dangerous animals. They were alone for 40 days; lots of opportunity for predators to strike. I'm hoping there will be more follow-up info. At last report, they were in a hospital getting care.
Absolutely amazing!
The children, members of the Huitoto Indigenous community were 13, 9, 4 y.o. plus an infant 1 y.o.. Family members said the older kids had some experience in the forest. They knew how to hunt and fish.
Their learning from indigenous families and their learning of living in the jungle has saved them. They had demonstrated an example of total survival that will be remembered in history.
