A man in China has dug up a yam that looks exactly like a human hand, shocking many people online.
The man, who lives in Jieyang, in southern China’s Guangdong province, unearthed the oddly shaped vegetable on his farm.
It looks so much like a hand that it seems to even have nails and skin.

Chinese yams often grow into various shapes, as their appearance is greatly affected by external factors such as the soil and random rocks.
However, it is rare for such a vegetable to grow so vividly like a hand.

On March 17, the man’s son-in-law said someone offered 8,000 yuan (US$1,150) for the vegetable, but they rejected the offer.
