I'm feeling the need to visit the Karachi Zoo in Pakistan just to meet the Mumtaz Begum Africa Wali. Basically this is a half fox, half women chimera, a mythical creature that has come to life and resides caged in the zoo. Apparently, it.. she..? entertains the crowds with her humor, wit and her ability to foretell the future. As she talk, you can see her fox body breathing :). This top feature at the zoo shares it's life story.. being born in African 35 years ago and living in cakes, juices and fruits and so forth. She engages with the crowd in several languages.. she's no dummies. But the she is actually a he with all the fixins ;). He, she, it?... has regular visitors and is a big hit with the kids. Of course there are the folks that don't find humor in this exhibit. Humor or not, it's definitely a strange spot.
