An incredible Cuban man who has 6 fingers and toes. How are they so perfect?

What would you think if you had 12 fingers and 12 toes? Yoandri Hernandez Garrido calls it a blessing. According to Cuban Yoandri who has six fingers on each hand and foot, this anomaly does not prevent him from leading a normal life.

Garrido lives in the province of Guantanamo, located in the eastern part of Liberty Island. Yoandri Hernandez is better known to the inhabitants of nearby villages by the nickname “twenty-four”. Hernandez is proud of his “extra” fingers that nature gave him. They do not interfere with him, but on the contrary – as proof, Hernandez easily climbs to the top of a palm tree and collects coconuts.

Hernandez says one traveler paid as much as $10 for a photo with him, which is considered a big deal in a country where the average salary is just $20 a month. In science, Hernandez’s deviation is known as polydactyly. This is not such a rare occurrence in nature, but it is surprising how perfect the “extra” fingers of a Cuban are and are in no way inferior to normal ones.

If you take a quick look at his hands, you may not notice anything unusual, since the “extra” fingers blend harmoniously with the rest. Hernandez said that as a child he was taken to a prominent Cuban orthopedist who was one of Fidel Castro’s doctors, who said he had never seen such a well-formed case of polydactyly in his entire life. It literally looks perfect as it is how it is meant to be naturally.

Hernandez says: “When I was young, I quickly realized that it was very profitable to have 24 fingers. No one has ever humiliated me for this, on the contrary, people admire me. I have many friends and live my best life, knowing well that God gave me something special to distinguish me from others.”
