Eagle Trained to Hunt In Manner of Falconry

In days of old, falconry and hawking, the sport of hunting with birds, was a popular pastime in both Asia and Europe. It consists in training the falcon, goshawk, and other birds to capture their prey for man, rather than to devour it. In a modern application of falconry, Dan and Jule Mannix, naturalists and explorers, have trained a golden eagle, which they have named Tequila, to hunt and bring back its subdued quarry to them.

Biggest game yet tackled by the eagle, which has an eight-foot wingspread, is a giant iguana lizard, five feet long, not including its whip-like tail.
