		</div><p>A 62-year-old recreational hunter lost in a hot and arid region of the Australian Outback survived without water for six days &#8211; by eating ants.</p>
<p>Police said Reg Foggerdy left a car driven by his brother last Wednesday in pursuit of a camel in the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia state.</p>
<p>Police trackers found the former miner sitting under a tree on Tuesday nine miles from where he became lost.</p>
<p>A police spokesman said Mr Foggerdy had spent the last two days sitting under a tree eating black ants.</p>
<p>He said the hunter &#8220;was extremely dehydrated, disoriented and basically delusional&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Foggerdy was airlifted by the Royal Flying Doctor Service for hospital treatment.</p>
<p>The brothers had been driving back to their camp 110 miles east of the nearest town, Laverton, after a day&#8217;s hunting when Mr Foggedy went missing wearing only a T-shirt, shorts, a cap and flip flops.</p>

<p>Temperatures reached up to 37C, police said.</p>
<p>A paramedic immediately gave Mr Foggerdy intravenous fluid when he was found and he recovered quickly. He was taken to Kalgoorlie Regional Hospital.</p>
<p>Police Superintendent Andy Greatwood would not speculate on how much longer Mr Foggerdy could have survived.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was probably good will and a miracle that he survived as long as he did under those conditions with no water,&#8221; Mr Greatwood said.</p>
<p>Camels were taken to Australia in the 19th century as pack animals to pioneer the island continent&#8217;s dry interior, and hundreds of thousands of feral ancestors now run wild in remote regions.</p>
