This news looks like a fiction, but the event did take place and the creature born in Zimbabwe actually looks more like a frog than a premature baby. The news is reported by the British tabloid Daily Mail.
Precious Nyathi, 36, was eight months pregnant when she started having labor. But the doctors from the hospital were very perplexed, because the creature that was born was tiny, had long, thin frog legs and the upper part of the body also resembled a frog.
The woman was allowed to take the deceased creature soon after giving birth with her to her village, where she showed it to people. The elders were frightened by much more doctors and ordered to immediately publicly burn the body.
Preshes Nyati's husband was also scared:
- I rushed home (when she returned) and was shocked because I saw a frog. The hospital confirmed that the wife had a labor and they were also shocked.
Preshes Nyati herself is in deep depression:
- I was very much expecting a child, but heaven sent me this. This hellish incident will haunt me all my life.
Until now, there has been no medical explanation for what happened. The head of the village says that the doctors from the hospital themselves cannot understand what happened.

In the comments to this news, readers offer their versions of what happened. Some write that a born creature, even being a premature baby, cannot be so small. Born eight-month-old babies outwardly differ from full-term babies mainly by only a slight underweight. And if the photo is really a human fetus, then it is strongly deformed by anomalies and stopped in development many months ago.
Others are sure that the woman's real child was stolen, and a frog was slipped into her, knowing that ignorant people from the village could easily believe this.
