Kazakh Eagle Hunters Preserve Ancient Tradition - Mongolia

Kazakh eagle hunters in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia pose with their trained golden eagles during a photo session on October 26, 2023. Clad in traditional fur garments and perched on horseback, the hunters embody a centuries-old nomadic tradition known as “berkutchi,” where raptors are used to hunt foxes and hares in the harsh mountain landscape. This photo series documents both the daily life and ceremonial moments of the hunters, capturing their deep bond with their eagles and the unique skills passed down through generations. Against the backdrop of the rugged steppe and snow-dusted peaks, the images reflect a culture rooted in survival, identity, and pride. As modern influences increasingly reshape the region, these photographs preserve a way of life that is fast disappearing but still resonates as a symbol of resilience and cultural heritage among the Kazakh minority in Mongolia.

A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

Visitors take photos of a quokka and her baby on the Rottnest Island in Australia, Oct. 25, 2024. Often called "the happiest animal in the world", Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos. They have grey-brown fur and small, rounded ears, feeding on fresh, young grasses, leaves and succulents, as well as plant roots. The quokka's range is a small area of southwestern Australia. They inhabit some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island just off Perth. Quokkas there have become very accustomed to humans. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of threatened species due to habitat loss, climatic factors and predation by feral animals (cats and foxes).

A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

A quokka is seen in the Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park in Sydney, Australia, Oct. 4, 2024. Often called "the happiest animal in the world", Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos. They have grey-brown fur and small, rounded ears, feeding on fresh, young grasses, leaves and succulents, as well as plant roots. The quokka's range is a small area of southwestern Australia. They inhabit some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island just off Perth. Quokkas there have become very accustomed to humans. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of threatened species due to habitat loss, climatic factors and predation by feral animals (cats and foxes).
