Supatra Sasuphan is celebrating after being inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's hairiest girl. She has been teased her entire life by other children calling her “monkey face” and “wolf girl”, but now the 11-year-old girl from Thailand has been given a Guinness World Record and she says it has helped her become extremely popular at school. "I'm very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in," she said.
Supatra's title was confirmed after a quick grilling from Guinness World Record executives. Supatra, nicknamed Nat, is one of only 50 documented cases of Ambras Syndrome since the Middle Ages. Before the disease was understood, sufferers were branded 'werewolves,' but the rare genetic condition, which is the result of a faulty chromosome, causes thick hair to grow all over her face, ears, arms and legs.
