Cacareco
Cacareco was a truly popular rhinoceros who managed to get 100,000 votes in 1959 in a campaign for city council in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Cacareco actually means garbage in Portuguese and her nomination was supposed to send a clear message to the local politicians. Even though the students from Sao Paolo entered her name on the ballot as a practical joke, the number of votes Cacareco received have inspired many similar cases across the globe.
