made peace with the lions [Video file]. Retrieved from

This video shows an amazing African boy who had a problem: lions kept killing his family's cows. As the tender of this flock, young Richard set out to find a way to solve this problem. After some trial and error, he discovered that lions seemed to be fearful of moving lights, so he developed a system that would create that illusion. The result: the lions stayed away, the cows survived, Richard installed other devices on other local farms, and he ended up getting a scholarship to an excellent Kenyan school. He aspires to be an engineer one day and I'd say by the looks of things, he's well on his way!
