The Figen(@TheFigen_):A traditional technique practiced by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe. They walk on stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, navigate wetland areas, and stay safe from snakes and predators such as lions and leopards. It demands strength, balance, and training starting from childhood.
