Living in the picturesque countryside of Kerala, Peter had always been used to his playful pygmy goats running up to him for attention. But it wasn’t until a guest pointed out how small they were that Peter realized he might have a record-breaking animal right under his nose.

At just four years old, Karumbi is a Canadian Pygmy goat, known for their stocky bodies and genetic dwarfism, which prevents them from growing taller than 21 inches (53 cm). But Karumbi stands out  at only 1 foot (40.5 cm) tall, she is officially the shortest living goat in the world.

Karumbi is pregnant! The world’s tiniest goat is about to become a mother again, and Peter couldn’t be more thrilled about expanding his tiny farm family. After hearing from a guest about the possibility of Karumbi earning a Guinness World Record, Peter took her to the vet for measurements, and Karumbi passed the test.
