A young boy was rescued after surviving five days in a game park full of lions and elephants in Zimbabwe, a lawmaker in the east African country said this week.
Mutsa Murombedzi, a member of Zimbabwe's parliament, said in a Wednesday post on social media that Tinotenda Pudu had strayed into the Matusadona Game Park and ended up "sleeping on a rocky perch, amidst roaring lions, passing elephants… and just the unforgiving wild," before he was eventually found by rangers.
CBS News partner network BBC News said Zimbabwe's national Parks & Wildlife Management Authority had confirmed the incident and said Pudu was just 7 years old. The BBC cited the parks authority as saying the young boy had wandered about 30 miles from where he lives.
