Drew Binsky - Welcome to ETHIOPIA - my favorite country in Africa! It's so nice to be here with Deanna, our 76th country together! We have a very special story to tell you from the historic city of Harar, near the border with Somalia. There is a man named Abbas, and along with his father Yusuf, are the only people in the world who live with (and feed) wild hyenas. Every single night, they spend about $40 USD collecting raw camel and cow meat from local butchers and use it to feed their wild hyenas. They are so close with their hyenas that they have named all of them, and the bond is something I've never seen before. This is truly a wild story from a corner of Ethiopia that you may have never heard of before, and I'm really grateful to be able to share it with you today. I'd love to hear from you in the comments below - what do you think of the hyena man? Would you ever come here? Or feed them with your mouth, if given the chance?
