The infant is being cared for in India after being born with its legs fused in a horn-like structure due to a rare health condition.
The baby was born in Manpura Primary Health Center, in central India's Shivpuri district, and remains in a stable condition.

Following the miracle birth, doctors immediately rushed the baby and mother to the Shivpuri District Hospital for close medical supervision.

The rare phenomenon is known as Mermaid Syndrome, or Sirenomelia, and sees infants born with the horn-like structure over their lower body.
