A person with 12 toes has a condition called polydactyly, which means having more than the usual number of fingers or toes. This is a genetic condition, often inherited from a parent. While it's not always harmful, it can sometimes cause medical issues.
Here are some examples of individuals with 12 toes:
- Kamani Hubbard, a boy born in California in 2009, had 12 fingers and 12 toes, all fully functional.
- Yoandri Hernandez Garrido, a 37-year-old Cuban man, has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He calls it a blessing.
Polydactyly can affect the hands and feet differently. Sometimes, extra digits are just small, skin tags, while other times, they are fully developed fingers or toes. The extent of polydactyly varies depending on the individual.
