Strange things do happen! A 6-year-old boy, Amar Singh, has grown a tail and is now being worshipped as a god-like figure in his local village.
Singh’s 12-inch tail has been woven from a large patch of thick black hair growing on his lower back.
According to Mirror, villagers in Nijmapur, in the state of nothern India, have hailed it as a sign that he is connected to the Hindu god, Hanuman, a monkey-like diety.
His family claim that he was born with an anomalous patch of hair about one inch in length – which then grew over the years until he was able to plait it.
Proud father, Ajmer Singh said his son is a “very loving child” and otherwise a “healthy and normal boy who does well at his studies”.
He said that although Amar’s hairs could easily be cut, the family don’t want to because they consider them to be a gift from God.
Amar – the youngest in the family with four sisters and one brother – also enjoys spending time playing with cows in the village.
Locals have also come up with the theory that his condition means that he bears some similarity to a cow, an animal which is considered holy in Hindu culture.
