    In the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, eagle hunting is a tradition that spans hundreds of years. These two hunters were training their eagles to come when called, to land on their arm while riding a horse, and then release the bait once the eagle lands. They had to put the hood on the eagle to get it to release the bait from its claws. Once the eagle has the rabbit in it's grip, it's difficult to make it let go. The two of them had to work together to get the eagle to release it from it's grip.
