The cheetahs got so tired they could not run any more. The villagers captured them alive and handed them over to the Kenya Wildlife Service

and they did that all in a macwiis....
"Kenyans chased down Cheetah"..stupid BBC is giving credit to Kenyans

That's a leopard not a cheetah

if cheetahs run 104 km/h. the somali guy 204 km/h

no chance, I don't believe it.

Somalis deal with predators in two ways,either use a trap or shoot on site. Job done

This reminds me of a feature on some show (probably Nature of Things) about endurance running which lead into a bit about persistence hunting. That's when a hunter or two would run their prey into exhaustion, since four legged runners have to pause in order to breathe properly, whereas bipedal hunters (us) don't.

Realizing that human body has adapted specifically for running long distances and doing so while barefoot is pretty amazing.

I was also introduce to the Canadian Death Race: 125 kilometer foot race through the Canadian rocky mountains. Wow.

what a strange sight. Somalis are very daring and brave, yet they waste such bravery on killing themselves.

Habar kuuleyna badda aas rinji marisay. Qaras badnaa.

What a coincidence. My mom was telling me a story earlier about how my grandpa 'fought' a leopard back in miiyiga.

I think what really happened was when the cheetah or Leopard had hunted down it's prey the somalis attacked it. Cheetahs can't run for some thirty mins after sprinting at full speed, the animals were too tired. No way a Somali or human could catch them any other way
