LONDON - Seekor lembu kerdil yang meminati muzik kontemporari dinamakan sebagai lembu terkecil di dunia oleh Guinness World Records, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Pihak pengurusan Guinness menyatakan, lembu sebesar seekor biri-biri itu berasal dari kawasan Yorkshire Barat, utara England dan berukuran 84 sentimeter panjang.

Lembu tersebut berusia 11 tahun dan dinamakan Swallow.

Pemiliknya, Caroline Ryder berkata, Swallow kerap menghabiskan masa dengan memakan rumput atau mendengar radio Perbadanan Penyiaran British (BBC) di bangsalnya.

Swallow berasal dari baka lembu Dexter yang terkenal kerana saiznya yang kerdil tetapi haiwan tersebut jauh lebih kecil berbanding kebanyakan lembu Dexter lain. - AP

LONDON — A minuscule cow with a taste for contemporary music has been named the world's smallest by the Guinness World Records book. Guinness said the sheep-sized bovine from the West Yorkshire region of northern England measures roughly 33 inches (84 centimeters) from hind to foot.

The 11-year-old cow is named Swallow and her owner, Caroline Ryder, said she would spend Thursday either grazing with her herd or listening to BBC radio in her cowshed.

Swallow is a Dexter cow, a breed known for its diminutive stature, but is small even by Dexter standards.
She already has nine regular-sized calves and is pregnant with her 10th. Guinness said her youngest calf has already grown larger than she is..
