Clara the rhinoceros, the 18th-century superstar, forever changed the image of the rhinoceros in Europe. In 1741, the Dutchman Douwe Mout van der Meer brought Clara from India to Amsterdam. She then toured major and small European cities for seventeen years, attracting large crowds everywhere. Now, Clara the rhinoceros is available as a hand-crocheted cuddly toy.
