Edward Nino Hernandez .
The Shortest Living Man man .
A 70cm (27-inch) tall Colombian has been named the world's shortest living man by Guinness World Records.
Edward Nino Hernandez, 24, weighs only 10kg (22lbs). His mother said he had not grown since he was two years old.
Mr Hernandez, who works part-time as a dancer, told the Associated Press: "I feel happy because I'm unique."
The previous record holder was He Pingping of China, who was 4cm (1.5 inches) taller and died in March - before Mr Hernandez was discovered.
Mr Hernandez is not expected to keep the title for long, however, as Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal is expected to take the title when he turns 18 in October.
Khagendra, currently recognised as the world's shortest living teenager, is only 56cm (22in) tall. The shortest man on record was Gul Mohammed of India, who measured just 57cm - 1cm taller than Khagendra.
