 13 year old Richard Turere lives in Kenya. Livestock is very important in their community, however lion are very smart and often kill their animals. The lions wait till everyone goes to bed before attacking. The first attempt at outsmarting the lions was to build scarecrows but the lions soon realized that since they were not moving around that there were not real people and didn’t pose and danger. Using a solar panel to gather electricity, a battery to store it and a car turn signal flasher to blink some lights he was able to place some lights at random locations around the pasture. This makes the lions think that there is someone walking around watching over the livestock at night. What a ingenious idea from such a young inventor.
