Wildlife lifestyle Waorani tribe can shock a modern person. This Indian people still roam the forests of the Amazon, gathering and hunting. To hunt monkeys, they use special tubes that shoot poisoned darts. Most of the time Vaorani spend in trees, because of this, they develop flat feet and deformity of the feet.
The Waorani population is only 4 thousand people. This nomadic people lives in the rain forests of the Amazon in eastern Ecuador. The Vaorani are excellent hunters, using special tubes that shoot poison darts. Their diet is based on monkey meat, and they also eat wild boars, toucans, plants and herbs collected by women.
Pictures of the Waorani were taken by British photographer Pete Oxford. Today, this tribe has settled in the Yasuni National Park, the reservation is their property, the government of Ecuador has no rights to it. Pete Oxford, in an interview for the media, said that the most interesting experience for him was getting to know such wild tribes, with people who are absolutely not like us. In this tribe, Pete feels like a foreigner, and not vice versa, and this is an invaluable experience. Of course, the Oxford expedition was not without curiosities: the locals offered the traveler to stay at their home, but he was forced to refuse and use his tent. The entrance to it was locked, as the Waorani liked the cables from Pete's equipment, the Indians were sure that such a "rope" could easily tie the prey.
Everyone in the Waorani tribe knows each other. The roles in this community are clearly distributed: men are engaged in hunting, women are in raising children. In general, the Waorani are far from civilization, but tourists visit them from time to time, and the Indians have learned to benefit from this. They make beads from bird feathers and sell them to tourists. When it comes to jewelry, the Waorani prefer minimalism. It is common for them to wear tunnels made of wood or bone in their ears. Deformed lobes can be seen in both women and men.
Deformation of the body is a frequent occurrence among representatives of primitive peoples. So, science knows African tribe bubal with giant genitals, which developed among local men due to very piquant traditions.
