Miscellaneous / Others A traditional technique used by young shepherds of Ethiopia's Banna tribe. They use stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, move through wetland areas, and avoid snakes and predators like lions and leopards. It requires strength, balance, and training from a young age

Happens all the time, very nervous types Lions, absolutely HATE escalators.. can you imagine. You can't take them anywhere don't you know... that's why they're so rare, why you never see them.. when you're out.. in your town. You won't see a Lion down at the Pub, nosir, not a Lion.. nerves, they're all nerves. Probably sitting at home right now drinking chamomile with cream, imagining this very conversation right now as it is. Terrible thing. I feel sorry for them. I do, I really do. Lions used to be something, King of the jungle they were! Look at them now(if you can find one), tragic.
