A newly born giant baby boy rests with a baby of normal size in a local hospital in Xiangfang, Central China's Hubei Province August 10, 2006. The boy weighed 5.5 kg (12 pounds) and was 57 cm (1.9 foot) tall with 23 cm (0.7 foot) wide shoulders at birth. Doctors attribute the increase in the number of gigantic babies to a surplus in mother's nutrition. [Xinhua]
