The long and short of it!

The world's tallest man has shaken hands with the man currently aiming for a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's shortest.

The historic meeting between 7ft 9ins Bao Xishun and He Pingping, who's just 2ft 5ins, took place in Baotou in China's Inner Mongolia, reports Metro.



Bao also hit the headlines this week when he married 5ft 6ins saleswoman Xia Shujian in a traditional Mongolian ceremony.

Bao, a herdsman from Inner Mongolia, recently saved the lives of two dolphins by using his long arms to reach down their throats and remove plastic shards from their stomachs.

He became officially recognised as the world's tallest man last year, beating the previous record holder, Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, by just 2mm.
