Ricardo is a circus artist and the leader of the Jungla group. He is the fourth generation of a family that always worked with crocodiles.
"I was twenty -five years old when I started putting my head in the mouth of a crocodile ... there is nothing, you are empty and do not think ... they have bitten me in many parts of the body ... and the salary of us is comic, it gives me to buy Some food ... to get crocodiles is not easy because they are considered animals in roads ... I spent twelve months to buy this. "
I told Ricardo that he wanted to photograph him during his performance and asked him if it would be possible for him to look at me for a couple of seconds.
This replied: "If I do my life, but I will do it because you asked me in the right way."
"I will ask them to be located in front of me, in the first row. And, at the time when I open my mouth to the crocodile, I will lift my head for a few seconds and look at you. There you will have your chance."
That was what we did and, fortunately, it went well.
