Baby Born With 12 Fingers, 12 Toes
A Daly City couple has even more to cheer about after giving birth to a healthy baby boy with 12 fingers and 12 toes. According to KTVU, baby "Kamani Hubbard has six-fully formed and functional fingers and toes on his hands and feet. It's called “polydactyly” -- extra digits -- not an uncommon genetic trait, but Bay Area doctors say they've never seen a case so remarkable." the little tyke was born at Saint Luke's Hospital three weeks ago. It turns out the genetic trait runs in the family. Kris Hubbard, the boy's father, says that he had "nubs of sixth fingers removed as a child" and that other family members were extra blessed with superfluous digits.
