In the serene fields of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, an unassuming champion has risen. Meet King Kong, a massive water buffalo who has claimed the title of the world's tallest buffalo, according to Guinness World Records.

 

King Kong stands an impressive 185 centimeters (6 feet 0.8 inches) tall from hoof to shoulder, overshadowing his buffalo peers by a remarkable 50 centimeters. His imposing size and gentle nature have captivated hearts locally and globally.

 

Since his noteworthy April 1, 2021, birth, King Kong has been destined for something special, much like his namesake, the famous giant movie monster. Suwat Booncharoen, the proud owner of Ninlani Farm, always knew King Kong was extraordinary. This remarkable buffalo delights in simple joys—splashing in ponds, munching bananas, and enjoying company, exhibiting traits of a gentle giant despite his formidable size.

 

 

Originally a horse breeding farm, Ninlani Farm shifted focus to albino buffaloes, showcasing King Kong as their star attraction. His daily routine is unhurried yet perfect for him. Beginning at 6 a.m., King Kong starts his day with a morning splash in the yard, followed by a refreshing bath and a king-sized breakfast.

 

Throughout the day, King Kong divides his time between lounging, grazing, and interacting with visitors, including splashes and rests under the sun. He ends his day similarly, with a bath and a substantial dinner. With a hearty appetite, he devours around 35 kilograms of food daily, with hay, corn, and bananas being his top choices.

 

 

King Kong is more than just a record-breaking giant; he embodies the heart of Ninlani Farm, drawing admiration and love from all who meet him, solidifying his place as the charming giant of Nakhon Ratchasima, reported The Thaiger.

He ain't a big as the one who tried to murder me in Cambodia one day. Without 1 word of a lie, he was twice as big than an african bull elephant. I swear it.

The only reason i didn't report him to the Guiness Book of Records was because my pants were too soiled to go public. 

Still are... buffalos that big will scar you for life.

I have never understood why water buffaloes are kept, they aren't used for anything these days and yet farmers in my area keep herds of 10 or more, beautiful creatures to be sure.....but why?
