Some videographers try to snap the perfect footage their entire lives, and never really manage to capture it. But for this hunter, the perfect video happened by accident, and it might be one of the funniest accidental wildlife films ever made.

It all happened when Dylan Schilt found a lost GoPro in the wild, which was lost by someone on a snowmobile ride.
After founding it, Schilt connected it to a charging station and turned it on, only to find hilarious footage of a bear who was looking right into the camera. The GoPro captured a big black bear, which found the device, managed to turn it on, and film itself while playing with it.

This can truly be named one of the weirdest and most surprising things one can find in a forest and one that Schilt will never forget. You can watch the footage of the bear filming itself with the GoPro and share it with other nature-enthusiasts.
Next time you go hiking be on the lookout, you never know when you’ll find the next best nature footage on a GoPro lying on the ground.

There is a small group of indigenous people in Mongolia, who still preserve ancient traditions and are probably the last out there who still practice the art of eagle hunting. Falconry is the art of training eagles for hunting small animals, such as foxes and it is a skill that was transmitted from fathers to sons.
Leo Thomas is a German photographer, who visited the Altai region in Western Mongolia and documented the lives of this group. From the remaining 300 eagle keepers out there, Thomas was lucky enough to meet a very special female eagle huntress named Zamabol. Statistics show that only 1 out of 10 eagle hunters are female and Zamabol comes from a Kazakh family, who practices her passion on weekends and studies on weekdays.
Zamabol trains with her brother Barzabai and Thomas had the opportunity to spend some time with them while in action and document the fascinating life of eagle hunters.
The pictures of the siblings riding on horsebacks, dressed in traditional garments, and maintaining a special connection with their eagles truly speak for themselves.
