WEIRD: Baby Born With 26 Fingers And Toes in India
A baby has been delivered at a hospital in Rajasthan, Northwestern India with 14 fingers and 12 toes, giving a total of 26, Daily Mail reports.
The baby, a girl has seven fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.
According to Daily Mail, she was declared by her doctors as one with a genetic anomaly, contrary to her family who are reportedly pleased to see her physical uniqueness.
Her family has publicly called her the reborn version of Dholagarh Devi, a well-known local deity whose temple is near where the girl was born.
Dr. BS Soni, a medic at the hospital where the baby was born said “There is no harm of any kind in having 26 fingers, but it is a genetic anomaly. The girl is otherwise absolutely healthy.”
However, it is yet to be revealed if the family of the newborn would ever consider her undergoing surgery to remove the excess fingers and toes in each limb.
