A woman has gone viral revealing that, despite standing tall at 6ft, she is the shortest member of her family.
Loki Honan is inches above the global average height for women (5ft 3), and yet her siblings tower over her.
The 23-year-old shared a clip on TikTok of her younger sister, showing the shocking difference in their height, which garnered four million views.

“It’s always made me have a giggle to myself when people are in shock at how tall I am, because growing up I was the short one in the family,” Loki, a content creator from Queensland, Australia, told What’s The Jam.
“My siblings tower over me now, which was, of course, what I thought about when people said I was tall.”
Loki’s mother, Donna, is 5ft 10 and her dad is 6ft 2, meanwhile her older brother Sean is 6ft 2, her younger sister Flick is 6ft 2, and her youngest sister Maddison is 6’3.
Their tall stature has led to strangers taking pictures of them when they are out together, seemingly shocked by their statuesque heights.
Loki, who has a nine-month-old son, Avalon, said: “We’ve had people take photos of us while on holidays because of our height!

“I’ve had my fair share of people taking photos without asking because of being tall and having tattoos.”
And as well as ogles from passers-by, the family have had to adapt to day-to-day issues too.
The young mum explained: “We always have the issues of not fitting under tables because they are too short.

“[Other issues are] jeans not fitting our legs, skirts not fitting because of having a long torso and shoes not fitting.
“None of us ever had pants that went to our ankles – men’s clothes were the only option!
“[We always had to] stand at the back in school photos, and in toilet cubicles, we had to hunch because you can see over the divider.
“Growing up the tallest at school definitely faced its challenges, especially being the size of a woman in middle school.
“But our mum always taught us to stand tall and be proud of it, encouraging our confidence.”
And there were great sides too, with the three sisters all taking part in netball, with their mum coaching them.
Loki added: “Being sisters on the same team was super empowering, and we used sport as a way to celebrate our height.”
The content creator’s TikTok showing the difference in her and sister Flick’s height garnered masses of attention from viewers.
One person wrote: “I gasped. Need a parent reveal now!!!”
“Your baby sister looks like BFG,” another user joked.
Someone else commented: “The baby boy is going to be like 8 ft+.”
“Her leg is my entire height,” another person added.
Someone else wrote: “What’s in the water there?”
Despite the issues she has faced due to her height, Loki says she finds it “empowering” and fully embraces it now.
She added: “Being a tall girl in school can be hard, and being a tall woman in general definitely faces its challenges.
“But if I can promote anything, it’s that being unique is a superpower.
“Being a tall woman is empowering.
“I will raise my children to be proud of who they are, just like our mum did.
“I definitely noticed my son growing so much faster.
“He’s been a 99th percentile baby, and already fits toddler shoes and weighs 12kg (26lbs).
“There’s so much beauty in raising strong, confident children.
“I’m so passionate about empowering the next generation.”
