A Russian toddler who went missing in the Siberian wilderness teeming with wild animals was found three days later on Wednesday, alive and in satisfactory condition, Russian media and the emergencies ministry reported. Video and photo material provided by the ministry shows emergency workers carrying the child out of a helicopter wrapped in a blanket. Three days of of searches, involving more than 100 police and rescue workers, sniffer dogs and a helicopter, yielded no results until finally the boy heard his uncle's call and replied. The first thing the little boy asked for was his toy car, local media cited a rescue worker saying. Quite predictably, the boy has already been nicknamed Mowgli, after the young boy in Rudyard Kipling's novel The Jungle Book.
