Chapter-1: Master Humans-Meet our heroes!

MEET THE SMALLEST STAR !!

I have found Jyoti Amge, the smallest woman on Earth, who lives in India. She is only 62.8 centimeters tall, which is less than two feet. She has broken two Guinness World Records: one for being the shortest female teenager and another for being the shortest actress. She played a role in a TV show called American Horror Story: Freak Show.

For almost three decades, Lee Redmond from the USA did not cut her fingernails. They became so long that they measured 8.65 meters in total. The longest one was on her right thumb and it was 90 centimeters long. I introduce Lee Redmond and her amazing nails which will amaze you how she manage her daily challenges with big nails. 

Record-Breaking Fingernails

Dante Barnes from Michigan, USA, has a tongue that can expand to 12.19 cm (4.80 in) in circumference, which is the same as a ping pong ball.He set the world record for the largest tongue circumference (male) on 24 December 2021.

Heaviest person in medical history

Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan was only 17 years old when she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. She was the youngest person ever to receive any Nobel Prize. She got the prize for her brave fight for the right of all children to education. Her story is amazing because she survived a Taliban attack and continued to speak out for her cause.I have read Malala’s book and I was moved by her courage and determination. She inspired me to appreciate the value of education and to stand up for what I believe in. She is a true hero and a role model for many people.

CHAPTER-2:Master Animals-MEET THE BEASTS!!!!!!

Otto the skateboarding Bulldog amazed the world with his skill and charm when he set a record for the longest human tunnel travelled through by a dog on a skateboard. I was lucky enough to witness his incredible feat in Lima, Peru, on Guinness World Records Day 2015. It was a sight I will never forget.

TALLEST DONKEY ALIVE

Blosom was a huge Holstein cow who lived with Patricia Meads-Hanson in the USA. She was the tallest cow ever, standing at 190 cm (6 ft 2 in) tall. She set the record on 24 May 2014 in Orangeville, Illinois. I saw her on the Guinness World Records website and I was amazed by her size. She looked very friendly and happy. She passed away in 2015, but she is still remembered as a record-breaking cow.

Chapter 3-Nature Wonders-Record Breaking Plants

 World’s tallest – and smelliest – flower wows visitors at Kew Gardens

The smallest leaves are those produced by the pygmy weed Crassula erecta, a tiny species of succulent saxifrage from California, USA. It produces minute fleshy leaves, each of which measures approximately 1.3 mm long – which is equal to the diameter of the head of a normal straight pin.

Largest seed

The coco-de-mer, Lodoicea maldivica, is a palm that produces the world’s largest and heaviest seeds. It grows very slowly and can live for centuries. It takes up to six years for its fruits to mature, and each fruit has one to three seeds that can be 50 cm (19.6 in) long and weigh 25 kg (55 lb). The shape of the fruit resembles a human bottom, which makes some people think that the plant has some magic power to enhance love, but this is not true. I saw this picture of the coco-de-mer on the Guinness World Records website and I was curious about its origin and history.

Kumbhalgarh Fort in India has the longest fort walls (22.4 miles). It was built in the 15th century and separated two kingdoms. The wall has 360 temples and many traps. The fort was very secure and only surrendered once.
