UPI – A tiny goat from Kerala, India, made history by earning the title of the world’s shortest living goat, as recognised by Guinness World Records.
Karumbi, a four-year-old female black pygmy goat, stands at just one foot, three inches tall, making her a rare and record-breaking farm animal. She belongs to farmer Peter Lenu, who had never considered her unusually small size to be record-worthy until a visitor to his farm pointed out that his pygmy goats appeared much smaller than others they had seen.
Among the 23 goats on Lenu’s farm, Karumbi is by far the tiniest. Intrigued by the guest’s observation, Lenu decided to have her officially measured by a veterinarian, who confirmed her diminutive height and paved the way for her Guinness World Record recognition.
“I take special care to maintain the genetic quality of all the animals I have,” Lenu shared with Guinness World Records.
Despite her small size, Karumbi is thriving. She has already given birth to one kid and is currently expecting another, proving that even the smallest of goats can have a big impact.
