A dog lover who spent £12,000 turning himself into a border collie has revealed his latest venture; a specialised zoo where other humans can also become animals.
Known only as Toco, he’s made quite the impression online with his rather bizarre antics.
On his YouTube, where he boasts 72,000 followers, he can be seen taken out for walks, doing tricks for treats and also his adventures with another human border collie.

Now, though, the pup’s latest venture has truly taken the cake.
The TokoTokoZoo, as it’s been called, is a specialist concept where anyone can live out their desire to become an animal, reports What’s The Jam.
On the website, it reads: “Have you ever wanted to be an animal?
“Have you ever imagined yourself as something other than yourself and felt excited?
“We offer a service that can help make that wish come true, even if only a little, by having you wear a costume.”

Currently, there’s only the option to become an Alaskan Malamute, with an overview of the costume’s measurements and availability listed.
It’s advised to reserve the animal outfit of choice 30 days prior to the scheduled business hours, with details of the location only provided once a reservation has been made.
But get ready to break the bank, as it’s not a cheap activity.

For 49,000 Yen (£256), you’ll be able to spend 180 minutes as the pooch, or for 36,000 Yen (£188), it’s only 120 minutes.
If you’d like to bring along a friend, it’s only 30,000 Yen per person (£156) and even cheaper if there’s three of you at just 20,000 Yen (£104).
Included in the package is an explanation of the costume, with a rundown of what the participant would like to do as the animal.
You’ll change into the costume, before having a custom fitting – and then, it’s showtime.
The actual time being the animal is only 25 minutes, but the process can last up to three hours overall.
And for those who meet a special “body type” measurement, there’s a limited trial plan where two sessions to become an animal are included for only 25,000 Yen (£130).
While the experience is located in Tokyo, Japan, Toco is able to accommodate other languages, including English.
Currently only cash is accepted, but it’s hoped other payment options will be available in the future, along with other animal costumes, such as pandas – but no cats or foxes as they’re “too small for humans to try”.
