Unbelievable! Shock as Woman Gives Birth to ‘Mermaid’ Baby | Photos

Doctors were left in serious shock after a 23-year-old Indian mother gave birth to a real life ‘mermaid’ whose gender is impossible to be determined.

The woman gave birth to a real life “mermaid baby” but tragically lost it just four hours later, The Sun UK has reported.

Muskura Bibi had given its natural birth on Wednesday morning at the government-run Chittaranjan Deva Sadan Hospital in Kolkata, India.

The baby born with fused legs was born with a rare condition known as ‘Mermaid Syndrome’ or Sirenomelia. It was the second such case in the country and fifth in the world.

The parents are a labour couple and had not sought proper medication during pregnancy due to lack of money.
