Tall meets Small

The world’s tallest man met up with the world’s shortest last week. The meeting between Bao Xishun, who is a massive 2.36 meters (7.9 feet) tall, and He Pingping, a tiny 73 centimeters (2.4 feet) short, took place in Baotou, China.
In 2006 Bao Xishun used his 1.06 meter long arms to remove shards of plastic from the stomachs of two dolphins. Bao was asked by veterinarians for assistance after the dolphins swallowed the plastic accidentally and Bao reached down their throats and removed the plastic manually.
Bao does not hold the record for the tallest person in history though, that title goes to Robert Wadlow, who was an amazing 2.72 meters (8.9 feet) tall when he died in 1940.
