🌾 Meet King Kong: The World’s Tallest Water Buffalo Lives in Thailand
On a quiet farm in Thailand, a gentle giant is turning heads — and breaking records. Meet King Kong, the world’s tallest living water buffalo, officially recognized by Guinness World Records.
Despite his towering size, this colossal creature is anything but intimidating to those who know him best.
👑 A Record-Breaking Giant
King Kong resides at Ninlanee Farm in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. At just three years old, he already stands a staggering 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) tall from hoof to withers — that's 50 cm taller than the average water buffalo!
Born on April 1, 2021, his remarkable size was evident from day one. Farm owner Suchart Booncharoen remembers the calf’s unusual size at birth, which inspired the fitting name: King Kong.
🍽️ A Big Appetite for a Big Buffalo
As expected from such a large animal, King Kong has a healthy appetite — consuming 35 kilograms of food daily. For comparison, a typical water buffalo eats between 21 to 26 kg per day.
His favorite snack? Bananas — a treat he enjoys along with his regular diet.
🐾 A Gentle Giant at Heart
While his size might seem intimidating to outsiders, King Kong is known on the farm for his playful and affectionate nature. He enjoys splashing in the pool, running around the yard, and getting a good scratch behind the ears, just like a friendly dog.
He shares the farm with horses, fellow buffaloes, and his loving caretakers — including farm worker Cherpatt Wutti, who’s often seen by his side.
☀️ A Day in the Life of King Kong
King Kong’s day begins bright and early at 6 a.m.. He’s led into the yard, where he enjoys a morning splash, a refreshing shower, and a hearty breakfast.
The rest of his day is spent lounging, roaming the farm, and playing with his companions. At 5:30 p.m., it’s time for another shower before dinner, followed by a cozy night’s rest.
Despite his massive size and world record title, King Kong is beloved for his sweet, playful spirit. He’s more than just a record-holder — he’s a reminder that the biggest hearts often come in the biggest bodies.
