World's oldest baby - aged 26

SURGEONS have been baffled after discovering a 26-year-old man trapped inside the body of a two-year-old toddler.

Jerly Lyngdoh — who lives with his farmer parents in Meghalaya, northern India — looks like any other tot with his tiny head and delicate 2ft 9ins long body.

But when he opens his mouth he reveals a full set of adult teeth.

Paediatrician Dr J. Ryndong said: "Jerly's infantile features are remarkable, and the only thing he shares with an adult are his teeth. He is a genuine rarity."

Experts believe the 22lb medical miracle suffers from poor secretion of growth hormones from the pituitary gland.

That's very interesting, Saira, thanks for sharing! We've done some studies on hormones, and it's remarkable how they can affect the human body.
