MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

In 2013, doctors in Beijing performed surgery to remove a Dandelion that had been growing in the ear of a 16-month-old girl. 

16-month-old Ranran had been scratching at her ear for months
Her parents took her to an ear, nose, and throat specialist who found the dandelion growing
Worried about the possibility of internal bleeding, the doctors performed surgery to completely remove the flower
The dandelion was nearly 2cm long and flowering when removed



MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
