He was extremely informative/knowtevgeable on the diversing of people and animals, as well as the ways is whidi local people have leand to use the evironment. José coved also draw on the expertise of his contacts on different days the aligator man, the jungle man, and a very competent, amiable captain of our ( covered), canoe, Manvel.
