Dhaka:
A knee-higher celebrity cow that became a sensation in Bangladesh has won posthumous recognition as the shortest on the planet just weeks just after its untimely demise.
Rani, just 50.8 centimetres (20 inches) higher, became an immediate net celebrity with tens of thousands of men and women rushing to the farm she lived on outdoors Dhaka for a glimpse of the miniature cow.
But just just after its owners applied to Guinness World Records, tragedy struck on August 19 when the beloved bovine all of a sudden died due to a sudden internal construct-up of gas.
The cow’s owner Kazi Mohammad Abu Sufian mentioned he received an e mail on Monday from Guinness World Records saying that Rani’s application had been accepted.
A statement on the Guinness web page confirmed the miniature Bhutti world-record cow’s status, beating the preceding holder, an Indian cow named Manikyam that stood 61 centimetres from hoof to withers.
“We sent several video of Rani in line with Guinness World Records prescriptions. We have also sent the post-mortem report to the Guinness authorities to see that there was nothing unusual about her death,” Sufian told AFP.
Sufian mentioned he had also sent Guinness Rani’s health-related records just after they asked whether or not she had received hormone injections.
“We have a mixed feelings after Rani got the recognition. We are happy that she got her due honours. But we are at the same very sad because she is no more with us,” Sufian mentioned.
“Her carer burst out crying as soon as we told him the news.”
