Video. Bosnian teen girl trains bull for historic fighting tournaments


Like many girls her age, 15-year-old Mirnesa Junuzovic splits her days into free time and time for school and chores. How she spends the former, however, makes her quite unusual.

Each day, Junuzovic walks with her bull, Cobra, and trains the animal for traditional bullfights that have been organized in Bosnia for over 200 years.

Fighting bulls of Bosnia have traditionally been trained by men, but women started joining the fray several years ago.

Still, women in this field are rare and Junuzovic, who started training bulls at the age of 12, remains the youngest of the trainers.

Bulls fight in different weight classes and Cobra, who weighs 620 kg, belongs to the lightweights category.
