Bizarre Early 20th Century Circus Photos Have People Questioning What Went On Behind the Scenes

The Human Caterpillar (1871 – 1934)

Prince Randian was born in 1871 and spent most of his life in the sideshow career. He had tetra-amelia syndrome which explains his lack of limbs. His sideshow act was very popular, as he usually wrapped himself in a fabric and crawled around like a caterpillar. He was best known for being able to roll a cigarette with his lips.
