Officials in Zimbabwe say 7-year-old Tinotenda Pudu survived five nights in the "unforgiving wild" of a game park thanks to his wilderness skills.

A young boy has been found alive after surviving five days in a game park inhabited by lions and elephants in northern Zimbabwe, according to a member of parliament. The ordeal began when Tinotenda Pudu wandered at least 23 km (14 miles) from home into the "perilous" Matusadona Game Park, said Mashonaland West MP Mutsa Murombedzi on X.
