The Sahu twins are joined at the hip, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Born connected at the waist, the conjoined twins have two legs and four arms, but 12-year-olds Shivnath and Shivram haven’t let that slow them down.

The siblings have shocked doctors in India with their ability to wash, dress and feed themselves. Even getting to school hasn’t proven to be a problem. The two boys just drop to the floor and run, like a spider.

The Sahus’ birth was greeted with awe in their tiny village near Raipur, with some viewing them as divine incarnations.

Doctors initially believed that the boys — who are thought to share a stomach, but have separate hearts and lungs — could not be separated.

A highly respected pediatrician now believes he can do it, even though the boys and their father say things are fine just the way they are.

“We don’t wish to get separated. We will stay like this even when we grow old. We want to live as we are,” young Shivram recently told the Daily Mail.
