Our furry baby has a legion of fans who say he can grow a beard better than men
A grown-up looking baby with a 'beard better than most men' has gone viral on social media.
Youngster Joao Miguel has taken the internet by storm after videos posted by his parents on TikTok left viewers with their jaws on the floor.

The baby boy from Brazil is shown to have an extraordinary amount of hair on his body, leading one viewer to claim he “looks 35.”
Although Joao is otherwise relatively normal and can do normal baby things, the TikTok account has amassed more than 100,000 followers.
There is also a YouTube channel, but it only has three videos and 36 subscribers, which was launched last month.
However, the names of Joao's parents remain unknown.
Nevertheless, the child's thick brown hair, covering him from head to toe, has piqued people's curiosity to the point that they keep coming back for more content.
Joao's huge eyebrows and bushy facial hair give him the appearance of a man trapped in a child's body.
But it's the beard that has attracted the most attention from the toddler, with hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of people flocking to the comments sections to spare their thoughts.
On one post, a user wrote: “He has a better beard than most men.”
A second person joked: “Miguel drove mom home from the hospital after he was born.”
Another commented, “Miguel can walk out of the liquor store with a 12-pack, no questions asked.”
In another video of him drinking from a bottle, users asked if he was actually drinking tequila.
But the real reason behind Joao's excessive hair growth all over his body is yet to be made public.
Regardless, many on social media have come up with their own theories.
According to experts, the official name for very furry babies is Lanugo.
Pediatrician Beverly Kupfert told us Today's parent that you have nothing to worry about if your baby experiences excessive hair growth.
She said: “If your baby is born with lanugo, it will go away within a few days or weeks.
“That said, if it lingers a little longer, that's normal too.
“In some cultures, body hair is more common and may persist beyond the first few months of life.”
