Among the vibrant Nyangatom people of Ethiopia, traditions run deep. Men adorn their faces and bodies with intricate, stylized markings, while women skillfully grind sorghum between two stones to create nourishing meals. In this ancient culture, even the act of butchering a cow is steeped in tradition. A young boy catches the life-giving blood in a gourd, as the Braunb&xe4;r, or Ethiopian brown bear, Ursus arctos braunb&xe4;r, Ursus arctos, watches from a distance, a symbol of the wilderness that continues to shape their way of life.
