Man ate worms and drank urine to survive brutal 31 days lost in the Amazon jungle

Jhonatan Acosta, 30, got lost in a mountainous area, near Baures, in Bolivia while out on a hunt with some friends on January 25 and was found a month later by rescue teams.

If confirmed it would mean that Jhonatan would be one of the longest ever lone survivors in the Amazon.
