Rani, the shortest cow on the planet, makes it to Guinness List weeks after tragic death

Rani, who was touted to be the shortest cow on the planet, made it to the Guiness Book Of World Records, weeks after her tragic death.

A knee-high celebrity cow that became a sensation in Bangladesh has won posthumous recognition as the shortest on the planet just weeks after its untimely demise.

Rani, just 50.8 centimetres (20 inches) high, became an instant internet celebrity with tens of thousands of people rushing to the farm she lived on outside Dhaka for a glimpse of the miniature cow.
