Takeru Kobayashi is a Japanese competitive eater. He holds several records, including six Guinness Records, for eating hot dogs, meatballs, Twinkies, hamburgers, pizza and pasta. In this video he takes on a tiny hamster as they each try to gobble down as many hot dogs as possible.

Most children, Asher Svidensky says, are a little intimidated by golden eagles. Kazakh boys in western Mongolia start learning how to use the huge birds to hunt for foxes and hares at the age of 13, when the eagles sit heavily on their undeveloped arms. Svidensky, a photographer and travel writer, shot five boys learning the skill as well as the girl, Ashol-Pan. "To see her with the eagle was amazing," he recalls. "She was a lot more comfortable with it, a lot more powerful with it and a lot more at ease with it."

The Kazakhs of the Altai mountain range in western Mongolia are the only people that hunt with golden eagles, and today there are around 400 practising falconers. Ashol-Pan, the daughter of a particularly celebrated hunter, may well be the country's only apprentice huntress.

I have never seen a bond like this between a bird of prey and a human before............ever.

I bet they grew up together.

Here's a pic from the same part of the world of a little girl laughing with pure joy with her camel.

Life in Mongolia can obviously be hard, but the reward of joy and happiness are pretty obvious, eh?
