Pruthviraj Patil is one of 50 in the world as at 2008, who suffer from hypertrichosis, a rare genetic condition known as Werewolf Syndrome.
As a result his face and body is covered in thick, matted hair.
But he is hoping doctors will one day find a cure for his ailment.
Born in the Indian district of Sangli, near Bombey, he hardly ever leaves his village because of his fear of being taunted by strangers.
