Just how tiny is the world’s smallest girl? There are rabbits larger than her.

That’s what Charlotte Garside found this out for herself earlier this month when the six-year-old and her family visited Big Sheep, Little Cow Farm Attraction in Bedale, England.

There the girl and her family, including nine-year old sister, Sophie, played with continental giant rabbits, guinea pigs and Shetland ponies at the animal park.

Garside, who was born with a form of Primordial Dwarfism, weighs less than 9 lbs and barely tops two feet (she’s 26.8 inches tall). It also means that she’s shorter than the rabbits she got to play with at the animal park, which can weigh up to 35 pounds and can grow up to two and a half feet long.

Despite initial concerns she wouldn’t make it past her first birthday, the young Withnersea resident has defied expectations and is in her second year at a mainstream primary school, reports the Mirror.

Garside’s story is featured in an upcoming episode of U.K. television series “Born with an Extra Body: Body Bizarre.”
