Pata Seca: the slave turned into a “human-breeding machine” In the 19th century, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, there lived a man named Roque José Florêncio, better known by his nickname Pata Seca — meaning “Dry Paw.” He stood about 2.18 meters (7 feet 2 inches) tall, and his owners decided to use him as a “breeding bull” — to produce new slaves. According to legend, he fathered between 200 and 300 children. After the abolition of slavery, he was granted a piece of land, got married, and had nine more children. It is said that he lived to be 130 years old, and thousands of people attended his funeral. Locals claim that up to one-third of the town’s residents are his descendants.
