Reg Foggerdy got lost in the hot and dry Australian Outback and survived without water for six days by eating ants!

Police trackers found him sitting under a tree on Tuesday morning 15 kilometres from where he became lost.

“He just spent the last two days under a tree eating black ants and that sustained him,” Police said. “When we found him, he was extremely dehydrated, disoriented and basically delusional.”

He was only wearing a T-shirt, shorts, a cap and jandals. He survived temperatures up to 37 degrees Celsius.
