Comment

"Cristian Ramos was born in Poland 1891, covered in thick, long hair, most likely due to a rare condition called hypertrichosis. His mother believed his appearance was caused her the fact that she witnessed his father get mauled by a lion when she was pregnant. She thought he was an abomination, giving him up at age 4 to a man named Sedlmayer, who began exhibiting him around Europe."
