Hunting

In 1807 Napoleon held a rabbit hunt for the Treaty of Tilsit. His aide Berthier gathered tame farm rabbits, not wild ones, and—used to being fed by people—they charged at Napoleon instead of fleeing. Swarmed, with rabbits climbing his legs, the emperor fled the field.

During the Joseon dynasty, hunters in Hamgyeong strapped wooden planks called 'seolma' (雪馬)—an early form of ski—to their feet and charged down snowy slopes to spear tigers. Related artifacts are estimated to be 2,000–3,000 years old.
