Remarkable images show long lost tribe living in South American jungle

Remarkable images have emerged of the long lost Moxihatetema trible living in a remote part of the South American jungle.

The Moxihatetema people have shunned all attempts at outside contact, and live in complete isolation in the Amazon rainforest in northe Brazil.

Fears had been growing for the group after they were not seen for more than a year.

However, these images – taken from a passing aircraft – confirm that the tribe are alive and well – althouth not too happy at being photographed.

Zoomed in, the photos show one of the men angrily shaking his spear in the direction of the camera.

The tribe are one of three monitored remotely after worries over clashes with illegal miners.

Miners have previously fought with remote tribes in the region after invading their protected lands in search of gold.

There are thought to be at least 100 isolated groups in the Amazon rainforest (Picture: Survival Inteational)
