There are many different people with outstanding abilities in the world. Some run fast, others have enviable intellectual abilities.

The third ones don’t need to do anything, because they are naturally gifted with outstanding abilities, but this doesn’t always make them happy.

Supatra Sasuphan from Bangkok set the world record at 11 years old.

In 2021, her name was officially entered into the Guinness Book of Records. The girl was recognized as the hairiest in the world.

For this natural feature, Sasuphan is called the wolf girl.

There is nothing to be happy about here, because her peers avoided communicating with her for a long time, teasing her about her “monkey face.”

The situation changed only after Sasuphan became a world celebrity thanks to the Guinness Book of Records.

Doctors say that the child's active hair growth was caused by Ambras syndrome.

The disease is caused by genetic mutations.

In the old days, such people were mistaken for werewolves and other evil spirits.

Thick hair began to grow on the child at the age of 2, even on his face, and doctors tried to remove it with a laser.

But no known remedy helped stop the disease.
