Devendra Suthar, 43, from Himmatnagar in Gujarat, in western India, has more fingers and toes than more than any person in the world.
This extraordinary record was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records after his diagnosis — *polydactylism — was veriffied by an Indian doctor last year.
Since then he became a local celebrity with people coming from nearby villages to take a glance at their unusual compatriot.
Suthar has seven fingers on each hand and seven toes on each foot and has to be extremely careful as he works as a carpenter.
*Polydactyly or is a congenital physical anomaly in humans, dogs, and cats having supernumerary fingers or toes. The condition has an incidence of 1 in every 500 live births and is associated with different mutations. It usually does not interfere with hand function, but for social reasons it can be treated operatively
