Stunning Photos Capture the Traditional Lives of Mongolian Eagle Hunters
▻https://mymodernmet.com/mongolian-eagle-hunters
German photographer Leo Thomas recently visited Western Mongolia’s Altai region to capture this fascinating culture.
There are approximately 300 remaining eagle keepers today, and the vast majority of them are male. However, while on his trip visiting the remote Altai region, Thomas had the opportunity to meet Zamanbol, 1 of just 10 eagle huntresses in Mongolia. She’s part of a Kazakh nomad family, and spends most of her days going to school in the city. On the weekend, she trains with her trusted eagle alongside her brother, Barzabai. Thomas’ images capture Zamanbol on horseback and dressed in handmade fur clothing, emitting her free-spirited strength and unbreakable bond with her eagle.
