Nairobi, Kenya is home to the Nairobi National Park, and aptly named ‘the world’s wildlife capital’ – the only city in the world that has a National Park.

Six lions stray from the Park into the adjacent, Langata neighbourhood. The Kenya Wildlife Service send out a message asking any one who has spotted the lions to call a toll free no. Kenyans get online and after a few minutes hilarious posts and memes start circulating.
I think Kenyans are the most hilarious and creative people on the planet. Here is a list of some of those rib crackers.
