A baby has been born in Brazil with a 12cm long tail, and also attached to the tail is a 4cm diameter ball-shaped at its tip.

This case has taken scientists and doctors by surprise as it hardly happens.

But according to doctors, human babies normally do grow a tail which is very similar to this new Brazil case when they are about four to eight weeks of their gestation period but they usually go back inside the body which then results in the formation of a human tailbone below the sacrum spine in the human body.

Although scientists were shocked at the birth of the baby with such an appendage, they were able to successfully remove the tail and the ‘ball’ after surgery.

According to reports, the baby was born at the Albert Sabin Children’s Hospital in the city of Fortaleza in Brazil.

The child was born prematurely at 35 weeks in January this year, but no complication was found except the tail – which wasn’t picked up by tests before the birth.

Pictures of the baby have however been released by Doctors and is published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, the released photos show the baby having a long tail-like appendage with a ball-shaped mass at the end.

Before the surgery, the doctors examined and noted the tail contained no parts made of cartilage and bone. This proved the growth was actually a very rare example of a true human tail.
