Close up of two hunter-gatherer men. AMAZON RAINFOREST, ECUADOR: THIS DARING photographer has managed to snap pictures of an infamous South American tribe who MURDERED FIVE AMERICANS over SIXTY YEARS AGO. Stunning shots of the indigenous Ecuadorians show killer instinct as one man wields a six-foot spear, a chef regurgitates undercooked food into a metal pan, and a nude tribesman smiles with a wild pig he has hunted. The Huaorani tribe, which are known to hunt monkeys with poisonous blowguns, exclusively live in the Amazon rainforest. It is thought the Huaorani language is isolated, with no related local languages. While the tribe have embraced the use of hunting rifles, they live a simple technology-free life in small forest settlements. The Huaoranis received global attention in 1956 after killing five American men who tried to convert the tribe to Christianity. In recent times, deforestation has caused the Huaoranis to move further into the forests, but their water supply is still ravaged with pollution from nearby oil operations. The incredible images were snapped by photographer, Václav ?ilha (56) from Prague, Czech Republic. / Václav ?ilha
