A distraught mother in Changsha, China, has begged doctors to help her five-month-old son who has grown a five-inch tail.
Nuo Nuo suffers from spina bifida, a developmental congenital disorder which leaves a gap in the spine, Metro.co.uk reported.
A few days after the baby was born, his mother noticed a tail beginning to grow and now the child has a very rare and apparent growth.
Even though Nuo Nuo's mum has asked doctors to remove the unusual growth, they can't do anything since the tail is linked to his nervous system and will result in permanent damage if removed.
