These conjoined “spider” twins in Indonesia are connected at the pelvis in such a way that they possess three legs, four arms and one penis, a condition so rare that it affects just one in 2 million people.

The boys are ischiopagus-tripus conjoined twins, defined as those who are connected by the lower half of their body instead of the upper torso — which is the case with most conjoined twins. This subset of the birth defect is exceedingly rare.
Along with their shared penis and seven limbs — all of which are functional except for one leg — these brothers also possess a bladder, rectum and intestinal tract, as is typical of most conjoined twins, the Daily Mail reported.
