Gaito Loka’s Bull Jumping Ceremony: Gaito is naked and ready to jump the bulls, but the village is having a hard time rounding them up and getting them into position. They will line up about a dozen bulls and Gaito will have to jump from one back to the other until he has vaulted over all the bulls. Hamar and Karo tribes practice bull jumping as a manhood ceremony. Karos only have the ceremony once a generation.
