If the children were from a 1st world country with everything on tap so to speak would they have survived or would survival instinct kick in and keep them going?

What a result!
It's surprising what lengths people will go to driven by the instinct to survive.
Loads of examples through history. The Donner Party for example whose wagon train was too late to cross the mountains to California and where the survivors resorted to cannibalism.

Indigenous children who may have some knowledge of where to find food and water, in a jungle, probably saved them?https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12179793/...

Four children from e.g. Bogota in the same situation, possibly wouldn't have a clue, I suspect!

I think the most remarkable part of this is keeping a 10 month old alive. I mean, many such kids wont be walking, many will still be on milk to bolster a limited solids diet. it's absolutely incredible that the other kids kept it alive for 40 days in the Amazon, FFS.
Bravo! but God only knows what they had to go through, poor kids.

That's what I thought. For a couple of days perhaps but not for all that time. I guess the issue is that they don't go to shops anyway so the older kids just did what they would do if they were at home. Apparently the eldest is used to having to look after the little ones.Bravo! but God only knows what they had to go through, poor kids.
I read an article written by a couple of anthropologists 50yrs ago.
They were to live in the rainforest with an indigenous tribe for a 12 month study. One concern was child care for their 5 y/o. It turned out to the least of their worries. The village children ( inc theirs) all went into the forest in the morning, older ones looking after tiddlers. They played in streams, found fruits and grubs.
They came home in the evening fed, clean, tired and ready for bed.
I don't remember much of the article but this stuck with me.

or maybe not. Great result for the four young 'uns.
In an odd twist to an bizarre case, the rescue dog that found them is now missing.
Apparently the kids have drawn "Wilson" in pictures since and said he was with them for 2 days, and the rescuers tracked the kids having found their prints along with his, but Wilson is nowhere to be found.
So what happened to Wilson....? He is a Belgian Alsatian, cant imagine him being particularly tasty!

Wasn’t that the dog from Friday night dinner?Apparently the kids have drawn "Wilson" in pictures since and said he was with them for 2 days, and the rescuers tracked the kids having found their prints along with his, but Wilson is nowhere to be found.

Remarkable story, including the mother that survived the crash and had to tell the children to look after themselves, that must have been tough on everyone.
Let's hope Wilson is found.
