Ethiopian man is real-life 'hyena whisperer'


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Hyenas roam the streets of the ancient walled city of Harar in eastern Ethiopia every night, seeking scraps of meat to drag to the nearby caves.

But residents are not afraid. A family chosen by the town to feed the animals is not daunted by the task despite the dangers that are associated with coming into close quarters with such wild animals.

Abbas Yusuf, known as Hyena Man, learnt to feed the hyenas from his father, Yusuf Mume Salleh, who fed them for 45 years before passing the job to his son 13 years ago.

Most often as with the case where the difference between peaceful coexistence of humankind and the wild of blood red with tooth and claws is merely that thin border of a line called 'City Limits'
