The Great Farini with Krao, 1883
William Leonard Hunt (1838-1929) was a Canadian funambulist, entertainment promoter and inventor. Krao Farini (1876-1926) was an American sideshow performer born with hypertrichosis. It is claimed that in January 1881, Krao and her parents were captured in Laos during an expedition conducted by the explorer Carl Bock. An anthropologist, George Shelly, was part of the expedition and took charge of Krao. She was described as being part of a primitive tribe of humans called Kraos-monink all of whom were covered in hair and lived in trees. By 1883, Krao was being exhibited in Europe as an example of a missing link between humanity and apes and proof of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. She was given the surname of Farini at some point after her capture by sideshow promoter Guillermo Antonio Farini when he adopted her.
