Berkuts, also known as the golden eagles, are large birds of prey found across the Northern Hemisphere. They are known for their impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 2.3 meters (7.5 feet). These birds are skilled hunters, primarily feeding on small mammals and birds. Their keen eyesight allows them to spot prey from great distances. In many cultures, including those of the Mongolian and Tuvan people, berkuts hold significant cultural importance. They are often used in traditional hunting practices, where trained eagles assist hunters in capturing game. This ancient practice showcases the strong bond between humans and these majestic birds.
