Fox-human creature entertains thousands at Karachi zoo in Pakistan

A traditional, mythical fox-human creature played by a man impersonating a woman, has been entertaining visitors to Karachi Zoo in Pakistan. The creature looks like she is attached to the body of a fox. 33-year-old Murad Ali, is the man behind Mumtaz, and plays her character for 12 hours every day. “The people, who visit here, go away happy. And knowing that they feel happy makes me happy too. There is a bond of love between me and them. Life is very short; it should be spent spreading smiles,“ he said. The father of two inherited the role from his father who died 16 years ago. Report by Claire Mewse.
