Four thousand years old Mongolian tradition

according to the washington post, there is a group of people in mongolia who depend only on falcon hunting.

they live on mount altai, where the fire eats hihan and the land is barren.

the tradition of training eagles has been passed on from generation to generation in the grasslands of mongolia, and the tradition of domestication of eagles has so far been at least 4,000 years sweaty.

now, this strange tradition is facing the lost and sad fields.

today, only about 70 hawks remain.

thanks to the constant distance from the outside world, altaishan has been able to spread this tradition in mongolia to date.

falcons cannot be completely submissive, and the hawks need to develop deep feelings with them and teach them how to catch their prey more accurately in the process.

the hawk teacher has to start breeding and their feelings from the moment the hawk is still small.

when it takes three to four years to breed a falcon, the entire process of domestication can only be carried out by a small individual, and only then can the trust between birds and humans be strengthened.

the falcon lives for 40 years, and it is like a relative to the nomadic people of the prairie.

each time, the city takes the most valuable part of its prey — the lung — to celebrate the “rion” of the hunt.

they also wear beautiful handmade jewellery for falcon legs.

"the eagle can't catch the prey, it's almost the end of his life." this is the curriculum vitae of the hawks of life.

the tradition of hawks is passed on from generation to generation in the grasslands of mongolia.

falcons cannot be completely submissive, and the hawks must be nurtured with them and taught in this process how to catch their prey more accurately.

in addition to the eagles, the hawks are brought with them horses or camels at times when it is necessary to go far away.

the riding of a horse is a skill that all the hawks must possess.

the hawk division had to hunt on the horse ' s back, as only horses could take them to the hunting grounds.

as far as possible, the eagles can kill the young wolves, but their primary prey is the old fox and some small animals.

if anyone catches a fox, the whole tribal city celebrates.

fox hides as a trophy will be worn by the hawk master and his family.

in savannahs, where temperatures are often below zero degrees, fox skin is a good cold-fighting device。
