Bao Xishun: World Tallest Man


Bao Xishun (also known as Xi Shun or “The Mast”) is a herdsman from Inner Mongolia, China, who is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest living man.

In December 2006, Bao Xishun was asked by veterinarians to assist them in removing shards of plastic from the stomachs of two dolphins. The dolphins had accidentally swallowed the shards, which had settled in their stomachs and caused a loss of appetite and depression. Veterinarians had failed to remove them, so Bao Xishun used his 1.06 metre-long arms to reach into the dolphins’ stomachs, to remove the plastic manually.
