awsome. I thought they used spears.

the hold a spear in one hand and that in the other. it is made from a water buffalos leg bone. when the lion attacks with its mouth open they stick that straight in and then turn it so the points are vertical. the lions reaction is to bite down and the top point goes through their brain and then the masai spears them in the heart. i would imagine death is pretty fast when done properly (or visa versa when not)

Woah.

I wonder what the Masai survival rate is when it is not done right...

i am sure a few have lost the battle but not that many. a few months before i was there several cattle were killed and the local masai took revenge and killed around a dozen lions. of course many of the masai ended up in jail because of it.

Do the Masai use guns at all?
