Krao Farini (1876 - April 16, 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.
