A mermaid-like baby has been delivered at the Suntreso Government Hospital in Kumasi,
The child with a rare defect has only one leg joining the torso from the waist down to the two feet – also conjoined at the heels to look like a caudal fin.
The baby has no genitals.

Meanwhile, reports indicate it seems healthy at birth.
Officials at the hospital have refused to comment officially on the issue.
On October 11, 2011, Graphiconline reported on a similar incident of a baby born at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) also in Kumasi with features like an aquatic creature.
Doctors at the hospital then described it as a congenital deformity.
