In a shocking incident during the Teskey Zheek festival in Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan, a horrifying attack unfolded during a bird of prey demonstration.

As the trainer released a golden eagle for a hunting display, a dog suddenly rushed into the viewing area. In a matter of seconds, the massive eagle, assuming the dog to be prey, swiftly moved to seize it.

The golden eagle, a national bird and the largest raptor in Issyk-Kul, boasts golden-brown skulls and beaks with darker bodies.

Known for their remarkable speed, these eagles can reach over 150 miles per hour while hunting rabbits, marmots, ground squirrels, reptiles, birds, fish, and even large insects.

Although historical concerns led to the killing of these birds by ranchers fearing livestock predation, studies now show their impact is minimal, and they are legally protected today.

The eagle trainer acted promptly to rescue the dog from the bird of prey’s talons, and a horseman arrived later to assist. The puppy was returned to its mother in the audience area, but due to severe injuries, it required immediate veterinary treatment.

Golden eagles, among the largest predatory birds in the Northern Hemisphere, can reach lengths of over a meter with a wingspan of nearly 2.5 meters. Adult males weigh between 7 and 11 kg, while females weigh only half as much.

Their hunting repertoire includes various prey, utilizing their agility, speed, and powerful talons to capture rabbits, marmots, ground squirrels, large mammals, and even other animals.

This incident serves as a reminder of the wild nature of these magnificent birds and the importance of understanding and respecting their place in the ecosystem.

It also emphasizes the need for responsible wildlife management and awareness during events involving birds of prey.
