Cultural Information

In Avaric culture, animals are important both for food and for work. Sheep and goats are raised for their meat and milk. Bees are kept for honey. Horses and donkeys are traditionally used for transportation and work in the fields. Hunting is also a popular activity.

The Avar people believe that some animals have symbolic meanings. For example, the eagle is a symbol of courage and strength, while the bear symbolizes power and wisdom.

In traditional Avar stories and legends, animals often play important roles. For example, the Avar epic "Dede Korkut" features a wise wolf who helps the hero solve problems, and "The Deer's Coat of Gold" tells a story about a magical deer who helps a poor man.
