What Causes A Zig Zag Butt Crack In A 8 Month Old?

Hi there, I have an 8 month old and I just noticed that her butt crack (sorry I don t know a better term :) ) is a little more extended up than a normal child s would be. It is also very zig zag looking. I hope you can understand what I mean. But is this something to worry about?
