People call Yoandri Hernandez Garrido "Twenty-Four." His nickname comes from the six perfectly formed fingers on both of his hands and the six impeccable toes on both feet, the Daily Mail reported.
Hernandez is proud of his extra digits and calls them a blessing.
He says they set him apart and enable him to make a living by scrambling up palm trees to cut coconuts and posing for photographs in Baracoa, Guantanamo province, a popular tourist destination in northeastern Cuba.
Known as polydactyly, Hernandez's condition, which is called polydactyly, is relatively common. However, it's rare that extra digits are as perfectly formed as Garrido's.
Indeed, at a glance, his hands look perfectly normal. It's only on closer inspection that his extra digits become apparent.(点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文)
男子有24趾称为神所赐
据英国《每日邮报》报道,人们戏称尤恩德里•赫尔南德斯•加里多为“24”。因为他不仅每只手长了6个完好的手指,每只脚上还长了6个完整的脚趾。
赫尔南德斯很自豪自己有多指症,觉得是为神所赐。
他说多出的手指让他更有爬树的本事,他摘椰子能比别人挣更多的钱;由于自己的与众不同,每次和来古巴关塔那摩巴拉科阿市的游客拍照也能挣得不少小费。
他的症状被称为多指症,一般较为常见,但像赫尔南德斯长的这么好的倒很少见。
确实,任何人在不经意地瞥到他的手时很难看出来有什么不同,只有靠近观察才会发现他的手脚趾与众不同。
