An American couple is proudly comparing their newborn to “mini Wolverine” as he was born with his body totally covered in hair.

Jonathan was born to Nancy Rivera and her fiancé Anthony Lopez in the early hours of January 28 in Minnesota.

The parents were surprised to see that their newborn son not only had his head covered in jet black hair but also had long hair on his legs, shoulders, and arms.

The boy was born at United Hospital in Saint Paul city.

Jonathan was born inside the amniotic sac and weighed a healthy 6lbs 13oz. He was given the title of “mini Wolverine” by none other than his own father, 28-year-old lab technician Antony Lopez.

Anthony said: “We cannot believe how much hair he has.

“When he first came out it had almost formed a beard on his face and some people have joked he will be shaving before he starts walking.

“All of the nurses were joking he was going to keep warm during the winter. All of our family have found it really entertaining.

“Jonathan is like a mini Wolverine.”

Jonathan’s mother, Nancy Rivera, had regular ultrasound inspections throughout her pregnancy but none of them could indicate that the boy was covered in hair.

However, the nurses told the couple that their boy won’t be a “mini Wolverine” for very long because he is expected to shed the extra hair naturally in the days to come.

Anthony said: “The ultrasounds weren’t the new 4D machines, so everything looked just normal.

“We could tell he was going to be a boy but that was all. Mostly everyone that visits just says ‘wow he’s got lots of hair’ and jokes about him being born a grown-up man.”

Another similar case was also reported back in 2018 when a baby girl, Holy Gent, was born having unusually thick hair on her head.

Her mom Natasha told that strangers are intrigued at the amount of hair the little one has.

Natasha said: “It’s nice as a mom to hear that, although sometimes I don’t know what to say because there’s only so many ways you can say thank you.

“It hasn’t stopped growing since the day she was born.

“Sometimes she has a blow-dry if her hair needs to dry quickly. She really enjoys it but sometimes she does try to eat the air.

“Her hair afterwards is so funny. It has grown straight upwards so after it’s dried it looks like a little afro. It makes us laugh so much.”
