Malawadi’s quiet lanes hold a charming surprise today. A small buffalo steps forward with confident strides. Visitors pause and stare at her tiny frame. Farmers smile as Radha enjoys the sudden attention.

Why Is This Buffalo So Remarkably Small?

Radha stands at only 2 ft 8 in tall. She lives on the farm of Trimbak Borate in Malawadi. She is a three-year-old Murrah hybrid buffalo. Her height is similar to Jyoti Amge’s height. Jyoti Amge measures only 2 ft 0.7 in. Radha is almost four feet shorter than King Kong. King Kong is the tallest living water buffalo. He stands at an impressive 6 ft 0.8 in.

Trimbak noticed Radha’s size when she turned two. His son Aniket studied agriculture at college. He chose to present Radha at farm shows. Radha joined her first event on 21 December last year. She has now appeared in over 13 exhibitions. She is often invited as a special guest.

How Did Radha Gain Her Record Title?

Aniket spoke to Navshakti news about her title. The Free Press Journal reported his comments widely. He said they felt happy about the Guinness record. He believes Radha can charm global audiences soon. The family now hopes to attend international events. They think people will enjoy seeing her size.

Most water buffalo grow eight to nine feet long. They usually measure around five to six feet tall. Radha is much smaller than these typical figures. Farmers often call buffalo the living tractors of Asia. They help with milk, meat, hides and ploughing. They normally rest in wetlands to stay cool. They spread their toes to avoid sinking there. Wild buffalo still live in India and nearby regions.

What Lies Ahead For This Petite Star?

Radha spends her days grazing near the farm. She also enjoys splashing in water whenever possible. Her habits match other buffalo living in South Asia. The Borate family hopes she receives fresh treats today. They believe the title brings joy to their community. They also hope Radha inspires interest among children. Her small shape makes her easy to approach safely.

The Guinness World Records listing delighted the family. They feel proud of Radha’s growing popularity now. They hope her story reaches global animal lovers soon.
