World's tallest man becomes World's tallest Dad

China's Bao Xishun has become the world's tallest father this week with the birth of his first child.

Known as the world's tallest man, Xishun's son measured an average of 22 inches at birth which was below the 29.5 inches (wold record birth height).

Bao, a 7-foot-9-inch herdsman from Inner Mongolia, last year married Xia Shujuan, a pygmy by contrast at 5-foot-6 inches.
