Wonders shall never end:Baby Born With 31 Fingers & Toes Undergoing Surgery

A baby with 31 fingers and toes has undergone the first of three surgical operations to correct his rare birth abnormalities.

The eight-month-old boy, named Hong Hong, has 15 fingers and 16 toes – but no thumbs on either palm.

Born to migrant worker parents from the village of Zhongping, China, the child suffers from a severe case of polydactyly, which causes the extra digits. While polydactyly occurs in an estimated one in every 1,000 cases, serious cases like this are rare.
