Four children who rescued 40 days after their plane crashed in the Colombian jungle were able to survive by eating cassava flour and fruit.
The children are members of the indigenous Huitoto people, which likely helped them navigate the jungle and decide what berries to eat.
"When the plane crashed, they took out (of the wreckage) a fariña, and with that, they survived," their uncle, Fidencio Valencia told reporters, referring to cassava flour eaten in the Amazon region. "After the fariña ran out, they began to eat seeds," Valencia said.
