Dwarf cow in Bangladesh
Visitors have been flocking to a farm in Bangladesh to see a new celebrity: a dwarf cow called Rani.
The 23-month-old Bhutti, or Bhutanese, cow stands just 51cm (20in) high, and weighs 28kg (62Ib).
Farm manager Hasan Howladar has applied to the Guinness Book of Records, saying Rani is the world’s smallest cow.
“I have never seen anything like this in my life,” visitor Rina Begum told BBC Bangla.
He says she has walking difficulties and is afraid of the other cows at Shikor Agro farm, so she is kept separate from the rest of the herd.
“She doesn’t eat much. She eats a small amount of bran and straw twice a day,” said Mr Howladar. “She likes to roam outside and seems to be happy when we take her in our arms.”
