Young Kazakh boy in a sheep skin coat outside a ger, Western Mongolia

---

The Kazakh tribesmen of Western Mongolia (in the Olgii area), live in gers and often tend herds of goats and sheep with the occasional cow. They train golden eagles to hunt for food and furs, and they compete with each other in the fall at the famous eagle festival in Olgii where Kazakh eagle trainers come from far and wide to compete with their birds. This image of a small boy in a sheepskin coat and hat was taken in front of his ger.
