Eagle hunters train golden eagles to assist them in hunting foxes, hares, wolves, and other small mammals. The eagles don't consume the prey; instead, they serve as a vital tool for the hunters to provide food for their families. These hunters must be exceptional horse riders, skillfully carrying a 20kg+ eagle on their arm while maintaining a perfect bond with the bird. I was deeply fascinated by the pride these hunters take in their traditions and their unwavering attachment to their cultural heritage.
