Summary

Charles Foster wanted to know what it was like to be a beast: a badger, an otter, a deer, a fox, a swift. What it was really like. And through knowing what it was like he wanted to get down and grapple with the beast in us all. So he tried it out: he lived life as a badger for six weeks, sleeping in a dirt hole and eating earthworms; he came face-to-face with shrimps as he lived like an otter; and he spent hours curled up in a back garden in East London and rooting in bins like an urban fox. 'Being a Beast' details Foster's eye-opening and extraordinary odyssey through nature.
