Yu Zhenhuan waits for an interview beside his hospital bed in Shanghai August 13, 2004. Yu, who is China's hairiest man, has 96 percent of his body covered with hair. The current Guinness record holders -- a pair of Mexican brothers -- have a record of 98 percent hair cover. Yu underwent ear surgery in Shanghai last week to remove hair that caused him to lose part of his hearing. The hirsute 26-year-old Yu, who uses the name 'woolboy' for his email, has hair all over his body, save the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet. He has an average of 41 hairs per 1 sq cm (.16 sq inch), a condition doctors term 'atavism'.
