Posted on Reddit earlier this week, this incredible photograph shows a group of nomads hunting with Golden Eagles in Mongolia. A Tineye search points to photographer David Tipling, who must have had an incredible experience filming these majestic creatures. There was a segment on this fascinating hunting technique on the show Human Planet by the BBC; a short clip can be seen below. Phenomenal stuff.
