A #schoolboy has been allowed to #identify as a #wolf, according to reports.

The pupil claims to suffer from “species dysphoria”, a non-clinical condition in which an individual feels their body belongs to a different species.

Teachers at the secondary school in Britain are understood to be supporting the child’s decision, the Daily Mail reports.

A growing number of schoolchildren have asked to be officially recognised as animals including cats, foxes, birds and dinosaurs.

Tommy MacKay, a clinical neuropsychologist, told the Daily Mail: “There is no such condition in science as ‘species dysphoria’.

“It’s not surprising that we are seeing this in an age when many people want to identify as something other than they are.

“Now we have a council which appears to accept at face value that a child identifies as a wolf, rather than being told to snap out of it and get to grips with themselves, which would be the common-sense approach.”
