This girl, Supatra Sasuphan, is one of only 50 people known to have Ambras syndrome or hypertrichosis -- a condition which makes hair grow all over the body including the face and neck -- since the Middle Ages.Before appropriate research into the disease revealed Ambras to be caused by a faulty chromosome, sufferers were branded werewolves.
Previously, she suffered of being call as "Wolf Girl" and "Monkey Face", but this time, the 11-year-old girl finally has a good news for herself. The Thai youngster says she has become extremely popular at her school in Bangkok after reportedly being named the "World's Hairiest Girl" by the Guinness World Record committee.
"There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don't do it any more," she says. "I'm very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything."
