Bernardo Patinhas, leader dei forcados di Evora

Bernardo Patinhas, leader of the Evora forcado group, watches as other forcados catch a bull, not in picture, during a traditional Portuguese bullfight on Sunday night, June 27, 2010, in Evora, Portugal. Patinhas is blood stained from a bull he caught previously. The forcados are a group of eight men who perform the “pega de cara” or “face catch,” in which they challenge a fighting bull bare-handed. The first forcado calls the bull into charge, and when the bull is running towards him, he jumps onto the bull’s head. The final purpose is to subdue the bull. Unlike bullfights in other countries, the bull in Portugal is not killed in the bullring.
