Mongolia: The Ancient Art of Eagle Hunting
VIDEO
· 1 MINUTE
In the far far west of Mongolia, the ancient tradition of hunting with eagles continues to pass from generation to generation. In the desolate, harsh, cold climate of the mountains, the Kazakhs rely on their trained Golden Eagles to hunt their prey, namely bright red foxes. As the eagles roam the high skies, they easily spot their prey below to bring as prizes to the hunters. Only around 250 eagle hunters remain, yet they preserve their tradition by teaching their children from an early age.
