A human platypus

Body art fanatic spends seven years transforming himself into human platypus

A body art fanatic has spent seven years transforming himself into a human platypus.

Jenya Bolotov has stretched eight parts of his face to achieve the duck-billed mammal look saying being a platypus is ‘what I have always wanted to be’.

He added: ‘Externally, I am now a platypus. Inside though, I am more like a bird. They’re my spirit animal and they come to me in my dreams.’

His body modifications include two holes either side of his nostrils, giant plugs in lips to give himself a ‘beak’, a hole inserted into his septum and stretched ear lobes.

The 26-year-old, from Russia, is also the first person to get the bridge of his nose stretched.

Jenya, who is single, said: ‘I love platypus – the way they look and even the word ‘platypus’ itself. I like the way my stretched face and lips now look like a platypus bill.

‘All of the modifications I have added to my body make me feel whole. This is what I am now. It is what I have always wanted to be.’

Sorry, but he doesn't look anything like a platypus to me. How about you?
