The world’s tallest man doesn’t play basketball, he saves dolphins…
The dolphins at an aquarium in Fushun, Liaoning Province, had fallen sick after swallowing the plastic from the edge of their pool, and attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because of the contraction of the dolphins’ stomachs in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper reported.
Veterinarians than decided to ask for help from Bao Xishun, a 2.36-metre-tall herdsman from Inner Mongolia.
Bao, 54, was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s tallest living man.
The official Xinhua news agency said Bao, using his arm length of 1.06 metres, was able to reach deep enough into the dolphins to pull out the plastic.
Photographs showed the jaws of one of the dolphins being held back by towels so Bao could reach inside the animal without being bitten.
“Some very small plastic pieces are still left in the dolphins’ stomachs,” Zhu Xiaoling, a local doctor, told Xinhua.
“However, the dolphins will be able to digest these and are expected to recover soon.”
Looking at this pic, I can’t help but think of a British show called All Creatures Great and Small.
I think they got married right after he pulled out the plastic.
the world’s tallest men is 8.3 and lives in Ukraine. He was never registered into the Guinness book. the second after him is 7.7 and lives in London.. So there….
