Invention of 9-year-old Kenyan Boy wonder, Richard Turere (Video)

Who would ever think that a nine-year-old boy can create something that can protect the "King of the Jungle?" Typical children at this age maybe contented being in front of their pc, tablet, mobile phones or any other time wasting gadgets throughout the day.

However, Kenyan boy wonder, Richard Turere is one exemption. At his young age, he invented an automated system of moving lights as a shield against wild animals. Turere used electricity from solar panel and battery circuit to light up his invention.

It was used successfully to keep away lions from eating their family's livestock located just outside the Nairobi National Park.

According to Turere, he "grew up hating lions very much" but never thought of killing them. Instead, the Kenyan boy wonder created a device that can be used against the lion's weakness. The "King of the Jungle" is reportedly afraid of moving lights.

Turere, now a 13-year-old, was given a scholarship by the Brookhouse School, a top Kenyan school. The young inventor plans to take up engineering. His invention became known worldwide after he was invited as one of the speakers during the TED 2013 last February 26.
