Come one, come all, step right up, and check out the wonder of several generations, The mysterious Fox-Lady Mumtaz Begum! What, you've never heard of her? Well maybe it's because you've never been to Pakistan... But if you're ever in Karachi, this woman (or something) is a big hit with both young and old.<br /><br />She's spent the past 40 years people smiles and hope, but it's actually thanks to Murad Ali, who spends 12 hours a day in the fox lady character; a job he inherited from his late father.<br /><br />Mumtaz became a permanent exhibit after a few people from a circus offered to set up the attraction there 40 years ago.<br /><br />She has always been played by men because they are able to respond better to those who harass her, says Mr Mohammad Khan, Director of Karachi Zoo.<br /><br />A ticket to check out Mumtaz only costs ten US cents, so if you ever find yourself in Karachi wondering about the secrets of the world, it's a small price to pay for some answers.
