According to the Guinness World Records, He Pingping of China:
; born 13 July 1988) is the world's shortest man who is able to walk. He measures 73 cm (2 ft 5 in) tall and is the third child of a family in Huade county, in the city of Wulanchabu in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He is seen in this picture with Svetlana Pankratova who stands 6-ft 4-in who is recorded as the woman with the longest legs in the world - with legs measuring 4-ft-4 in long.
However, the World's Shortest Man record is challenged by Khagendra Thapa Magar, son of Rup Bahadur and Dhana Maya, who is reported to be the shortest man in the world, measuring 56 cm (22 inches) at age 18. In 2006, when Khagendra Thapa Magar was only 14 years old - the Guiness officials rejected his claim because he was not an adult at that time. Now that he's 18, and is shorter by 17 cms. will definitely capture this record.
