Mongolia is a beautiful country with large grasslands.
US photographer(摄影师) Bonnie Stewart once went to Mongolia. She took photos (16) of eagle hunters(猎人) riding horses there. But these hunters don't actually hunt eagles by themselves. They use the eagles to hunt other animals (17), like foxes and hares(野兔). Once the hunter sees an animal, he or she (18) sends an eagle out. The eagle then catches(抓) the animal with (19) its feet. This is a tradition (20) for hunters in Mongolia, according to National Geography. It (21) usually takes about five years to train an eagle. The bird learns (22) how to follow the animals and land(降落) on the hunter's arm. The hunters also sing and talk to the birds (23) so they can remember the hunters' voices(声音). But the hunters (24) don't keep their eagles forever. After many years, they will send their eagles (25) back into the wild(野外), said the Daily Mail.
