Tallest man in the world

Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia, China is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest living man. Born in 1951 and measuring 2.36 meters (7 ft 8.95 in) tall, Bao Xishun had a normal growth till he was 16. For unknown reasons, Bao Xishun had experienced sudden growth and reached the current height when he was 23 years old. His legs stretch 4 foot 11 inches and his feet is 1 foot 3 inches long. Bao Xishun lost his title of world's tallest man to Leonid Stadnyk in 2007 and then regained the title after Leonoid Stadnyk failed to meet Guinness's measuring requirements.
At an aquarium pool in Fushun, north-east China, dolphins swallowed plastic and the veterinarians found it hard to remove the plastic shards. Bao Xishun was asked by veterinarians to assist them in removing shards of plastic from the stomachs of two dolphins. Bao Xishun extended his 1.06m-long arm into the dolphins' stomachs and removed the plastic.
The tallest man married Xia Shujian, a saleswoman from his home city of Chifeng on 24 March 2007. Xia Shujian was 25 years younger and two-thirds of his height. The authentic Mongolian ceremony took place on July 12, 2007. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony. Dressed in a silk blue tunic, Xishun greeted the crowd before entering an enormous yurt, where guests ate lamb and cheese while listening to Mongolian chants.
