Here in Canada some of us put eyes on the back of our hats or touques to avoid cougar attacks.

I lived in Botswana for 17 years. Moved there in 1979. My family still live there. This is the first I have ever heard of this.

Very clever. Hopefully it will deter the lions and result in less deaths by farmers.
