Masai Warriors
The Masai who beat Japanese magician Mr. Marik in a challenge a few weeks ago were so amazing that they were asked back to Japan to perform more feats of Masai super vision. Here is a clip of a vision test they were given on the savana before their second trip to Japan:
The staff hold up pictures of animals at a distance of 2 kilometers. The Masai easily identify a zebra, but can they identify a panda, an animal they have probably never seen? They don’t know what it’s called, but they can describe it’s appearance well enough to prove they can actually see it!
Their next task was far more difficult. Panels with pictures of animals on them were placed along the course of the Fujiyama roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland Amusement park, and the Masai were asked to spot them:
Could the Masai do it? Yep.
