NEW DELHI: A Japanese man, who made the headline when he transformed into a
hyper-realistic dog
, has hinted that he now wants to morph into another animal like a fox, cat, or
panda
.
A YouTuber, who goes by identity
Toco
, spent over £12 to live life as a dog and documented his entire journey of transforming into a border collie on his YouTube channel ‘I want to be an animal’ has over 65k subscribers on his account, Daily Star reported.
On his YouTube channel, the man has posted several videos of him walking like a dog. In these videos, which have garnered thousands of views, the man can be seen frolicking on a lawn, rolling on a floor and playing fetch – just like a dog.
While giving an interview to Japanese news outlet, Toco said that he has his eyes set on living life as a new animal.
Speaking to WanQol, he admitted that there are actually four animals he wants to try, but two of them might not work for logistical reasons. He said: “Dogs and humans have different bone structures and the way they bend their legs and arms, so dogs . . . it’s very difficult to make movements that look like this.
“I’m currently researching ways to make my limbs look more like dogs. Also, when they get dirty, they get dirt and dirt on their fur, so it takes a lot of effort to clean it every time. Of course, I would like to become other animals as well. I might realistically be able to become another
dog, a panda, or a bear. A fox or a cat would also be nice, but they are too small for humans to try.
“I’d like to fulfil my dream of becoming another animal someday.”
According to Greek mythology, therianthropy – the art of living as an animal – dates back thousands of years, and is rooted in the folklore of shapeshifting, which is essentially the real life version of human to dog transformation, as per the Daily Star.
According to a report from the International Anthropomorphic Research Project, many of those who live this lifestyle refer to their animal side as a “fursona”.
