Smallest Cow Won Guinness Records Bt Posthumous

Rani, world’s shortest celebrity, a Bhutti cow that became a sensation has won Guinness Book of World records recognition as the smallest on the planet. But it died a few weeks before it got the famous award this month. Just at 50.8 centimeters (20 inches) high, Rani had become an instant internet celebrity with tens of thousands of Bangladeshis rushing to the farm she lived on outside Dhaka for a glimpse of the miniature cow.

But tragedy struck on August 19 when the beloved 23 month old bovine in Charigram, near Dhaka. suddenly died due to a sudden internal build-up of gas just after its owners applied to Guinness World Records. A statement on the Guinness website confirmed the miniature Bhutti world- record cow’s status, beating the previous holder, an Indian cow named Manikyam that stood 61 centimeters from hoof to withers.

The owner sent several videos of Rani in line with Guinness World Records requirements. He had also sent the post-mortem report to the Guinness authorities to see that there was nothing unusual about her death.
