Legendary hunter Papa Baron Missiki, 91, poses for a photo with a crocodile and his spear on a pirogue on the Congo River in DR Congo on April 7, 2024. At 91-years-old, Papa Baron Missiki, has hunted crocodiles as well as buffalos, antelopes, elephants and hippopotomasus. He is now retired but his son - also called Missiki - follows in his footsteps.
The fishermen are proud to belong to this community, and recount their stories from years gone by with nostalgia.
Koko remembers a time when crocodile hunting was lucrative, back when the DRC was known as Zaire between 1971 and 1997. (Photo by Arsene Mpiana / AFP)
