Thomas Thwaites spent three days living with a herd of goats in the Swiss Alps in order to study their behaviour and take a break from the stress of live as a human. He even had prosthetic limbs fitted that helped him move around on all fours.
He told: "My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future."
Thwaites has written a book about his experiences, called ‘GoatMan; How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’.
