The tot, who is from the village of Hemda in Nawada, Bihar, has now appeared in a viral video.

The clip appears to show the distressed tot - dubbed "spider girl" - being cradled by her mum.

Dressed in yellow, her four additional limbs appear motionless and protrude from her waist.

The youngster appears to be able to stand on her two functioning legs and it looks as though she has full use of the arms by her side.
