The 6-year-old boy, from the city of Shenyang in China's northeastern Liaoning province, has a total of 31 fingers and toes - 16 toes, and 15 fingers (although one of those fingers is incomplete, being a fork at the end of the right thumb.) Three fingers on each hand are fused together.

The boy has a condition known as polydactyly, in which one of a variety of genetic disorders - which can be inherited, or new mutations - gives rise to the supernumerary digits.

 

Most commonly, the extra digits appear on the little finger side of the hand - but this boy appears to have the much rarer condition of central

If Baskin Robins doesn't take advantage of his 31 fingers, they are missing a once in a lifetime opportunity.
