he little girl, called Hong Hong, was born with the tail but it had since doubled in size, reports the Anhui Market Daily.

Her father, Hou, of Lixing town in eastern China's Anhui province, said he had been "shocked" to see the tail at birth.

"I wanted to cut it off when she was born, but doctors suggested we wait some time, as a newborn is too weak to take such a surgery," he said.

He checked the tail each day, hoping it would get smaller but instead it just "grew bigger and bigger", he added.

Doctors at the Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital said they too had been surprised by the case.

"It's very rare, about one in a million. We have never seen anything like this before," said Dr Sun Jun.

X-rays had shown that the tail was connected to a fatty tumor within the spinal column.

Dr Sun said the surgery had been successful, but it was still too early to say whether further treatment would be necessary.

At least the kid would have good balance when learning to walk...

Poor kid..

Thank god she was not blue or else Cameron would of claimed she was his ;-)

When I was a kid, there was a boy in our area with a bad scar in the same area. he also had a tail and it was removed.

yeah i heard it was common..and they usually just lop it off no biggie

True!
I had some backproblems a few years ago, went to a chiropractor that told me that I had evolved a little bit more :1orglaugh , as "something" with my spinal had grown together. He said it was like 1 in 5 mill. that got this.

To bad my brain did not evolve...... :)
