Tamakún attacked by croc

70-year old local croc wrangler Tamakún aka Roberto Piza Ríos was bitten on the knee and femur by a croc he was trying to catch at Playa Linda early Saturday afternoon. Not sure of his condition, but we all hope he receives the proper medical care he needs as well as support from the local government for whom he was working so that he is looked after and properly cared for.

I really admire this man. Is there a way we can make donations to help him out?

He is doing fine I saw him talking to tousists this morning on Playa Palmar!
He had one of his yellow socks rolled down and the other up. I was glad to see him OK!
