Dehradun, Jan. 25 -- Feeding hyenas from the mouth - with Hyena Man, Abbas Yusuf.

Around the World with the Most Travelled Indian

That's a strange title but I couldn't think of anything else to describe this recent experience in the Horn of Africa, specifically in Harar which lies in far eastern Ethiopia, near Somaliland. We had heard of the famous Hyena Man of Harar and now that we were in Harar, there was no way we were going to miss meeting him. YouTube has some videos on the 'Hyena man', the most popular of them being that of the amazing travel content creator, Drew Binsky. Incredibly enough, this Hyena Man comes out every single night on the outskirts of town to feed these beasts and actually calls them by name.

Hyenas are respect...
