Indian Boy grows hairy tail

It seems Simian Instincts are coming back for this 8 years old boy in Bihar state of India. Yes, here an eight-year-old boy in a Bihar village has grown a hairy tail that refuses to stop growing though boy cuts it every time.

Roshan Kumar, is a resident of Rani village in Begusarai district, about 126 km from here. He hates his appendage and wants to get rid of it. His friends in school make fun of him, calling him 'poonch wala bandar (monkey with a tail).

A doctor told the Class 2 student not to worry, saying the tail would stop growing on its own after a while.

According to his father, Avadh Kishor Rai, the tail is a 'rare gift of nature'.

But it causes Roshan a lot of pain too, especially when children make a grab for it during play.

According to Rai, several people come to see his son out of curiosity.

'His tail has been there since birth. It is a miracle of nature,' Rai maintains.

But for the tail, Roshan is a normal child, said his father.
