Valery Sanjur, 12, gives a sponge bath to a rooster using a mixture of alcohol and herbs to keep it cool, after its training at Dona Cata's cockpit in the district of Chorrera in Panama City.

Cock-fighting is popular in Panamanian culture where it is common to bet over the outcome for high stakes. Roosters over a year old are selected and trained for two months before they are placed in the arena where it will face another rooster in a battle that is typically to the death.
