Shocking Photo Of A New Born Baby Born With Tail In China

A baby born with a tail has got the tail removed by doctors on

Thursday. The 11-month-old baby Yangyang (pseudonym) was born

with a tail in Yibin, southwest China's Sichuan province.

Yangyang's mother had not been told about any abnormality during

prenatal examinations at a local hospital and was startled to find the baby

with a tail upon birth.

Yangyang was diagnosed, after birth, with neural tube defects which has

an incidence rate of 2‰~3‰.

Doctors say the cause of the disease could have been that Yangyang's

mother didn't take folic acid supplements during pregnancy.
