A boy with four legs and two penises was born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh in northern India. Presumably, this anomaly is associated with the so-called twin parasite.
The birth of an unusual boy immediately became the main local news.
Many people considered his birth a good omen and began to specially come to the hospital in the hope of looking at the miracle baby.
The child's father, Bulkhan Nishad, works as a laborer, so his wife, Rambha, apparently did not undergo prenatal examinations due to poverty. For both, the birth of a four-legged son with two penises came as a shock.
Rambha's birth was very difficult and painful. When the woman was unable to give birth at home, her relatives brought her to the hospital, where the woman was given a caesarean.
Now the boy is in the hospital under the strict supervision of doctors. If he survives during the next days, he will undergo surgery to remove excess body parts.
Go to the hospital with the hope of seeing the “ wonder child ” now the locals are coming.
On the video that got into the media, it is noticeable that all four of the child's legs are deformed, so doctors will not only have to cut off the excess, but also fix the limbs.

A boy with two penises and extra legs was also born in India last year, but his sight shocked his mother's relatives so much that they wanted to kill the child by throwing it into the river. Fortunately, his mother escaped with the baby and took refuge in the hospital. Later, the boy was successfully operated on, removing excess body parts.
A parasite twin is the extra arms, legs, and in rare cases, the head left over from one twin and attached to the body of the other twin.
What exactly causes such anomalies is still not well understood. Presumably, in the early stages of pregnancy, one of the embryos begins to receive less nutrition than the other. As a result, one twin stops developing and if he is very close to the body of another embryo, then a healthy twin absorbs the body of the patient.
Most often, absorption is partial, but sometimes it also occurs completely, and then a newborn can be born outwardly normal, but with the body of his twin in his stomach or chest.
