A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the dense Amazon rain forest was found after 11 days, dehydrated and scratched but apparently unharmed, police said Friday. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071005/ap_on_fe_st/brazil_jungle_boy;_ylt=Au9YRgw6BcO0NqJiG1T8eDftiBIF)

Amazing that he survived after 11 days.  Surely he must have met a wild animal during that time.  Occasionally you hear about animals being protective towards small children so maybe that's what happened here, or maybe he was just very lucky.
