8 Animals That Ran For Government


Ever heard of Cacareco the rhinoceros? She ran as a candidate for the city council elections in Sao Paulo in 1958, protesting against political corruption. Although the establishment did not accept Cacareco's candidacy, she eventually won over 100,000 votes - many more than any other party in the election.

Cacareco is not the only animal that ran for government. Several animals really have tried to be elected to power. Meet eight real-life political 'party animals' of which three actually served.
