Teen grows 70cm hairy TAIL from his body and vows he’s not going to hide it any more

A teenager who grew a hairy tail has vowed to not keep it hidden any more after a priest claimed he was a reincarnation of a god and he went viral on Tik Tok.

Deshant Adhikari, 16, was at first ashamed of the 70cm long appendage extending from his coccyx and hid it from the outside world.

As a youngster his parents took him to several hospitals at home in Nepal and abroad to find treatment.

In desperation they saw a local priest who suggested he was the reincarnation of a god, leading them to feel happier about the tail.

And after going viral on social media thanks to his unusual condition, Deshant said he is now completely comfortable showing it to the world.

He said in a YouTube video: “My parents used to now show the tail and I agreed, now I don’t feel any discomfort showing it.

“A video of me went viral on Tik Tok and now a lot of people know me as the boy with a tail, and I feel good about it.”

Filmmaker Puskar Nepal, who interviewed Deshant and filmed his bizarre tail, said: “His parents didn’t know about his condition until they took him home from hospital five days after he was born.

“They took him to different local hospitals and even abroad seeking the proper treatment, but no effort could stop the tail from growing.

“Later they consulted the priests and they were told not to comb or use any tool to cut the tail.

“The priests even pointed out that the boy might possess some supernatural power as he might be the reincarnation of Lord Hanuman, the God of monkeys.

“They let the tail grow naturally thereafter and stopped looking for a treatment.”

Deshant is not the only medical marvel to hail from Nepal.
