Its just painted black

The black body paint is called genipapo, and is made from fruit. Like the red dye it is likely to be an aggressive display.

Very wierd.

Wierd to think that there is still undiscovered parts of the planet.

Ocean Depths, North/South pole? All mostly unexplored, especially the Oceans, who knows what lives in the very depths of every area.

I really hope people dont try to contact them.

Just leave them alone, think how long theyve survived in their idea of perfect existence.

Ill give it a year before theyre all wearing Nike t-shirts/trainers.

In response to the people saying we shouldn't have made contact like this -
Is this purpose of this flyover not to prove to logging companies that the tribe actually exists in order to prevent the forests surrounding this tribe being destroyed?
Given the choice between possibly scaring them a bit with an airplane or completely destroying their natural habitat, I know which I'd choose.

The flyover isnt so bad, i just wouldnt want media and press rushing in to contact them.

Would be classic if they did and they just murdered and ate them all xD

You know, we could be uncontacted by some massive collony which dominates the universe

And they will think of us as we think of these tribes ^^

Lol! What makes everyone think that just because they are in the jungle alone, they are living in "their idea of perfect existance"! The way I think of it is, imagine some humans are 500 years ahead in science and medicine from us and we don't know about them even though they live close by. Would you want them to come and say hi or not? For me I would definitely say yes. I just can't bear the thought of all that extra information and knowledge being denied from me to preserve some level of well-being that is not known by the advanced humans themselves.

Totally agree

....there is no way they can get on with there lives now...I bet every nature documentary type person is chomping at the bit to make a programe about them (which will involve more flyby,s covert filming etc)

I do find it fascinating though that they have managed to stay hidden for this long , tbo it makes me think that maybe in the past someone was at least sensible enough not to reveal there existance !

All we can give them is alcohol and flu. :/
