A baby with three legs has been born in China, it has been revealed.
The little girl was discovered after she was abandoned in Shishan township of Nan'an city in February. She was taken in by a children's home and brought to hospital for treatment, China Daily reports.
Not much else is known about the child's condition and details for her future care are vague, other than she is currently being treated at a children's hospital in Quanzhou, in east China's Fujian province.
The superfluous limb is much smaller and appears to dangle limply from the back of her right leg.
Doctors say the extra limb should be amputated but that surgery should not be carried out until she is at least six months old.
