I’m all ears
Baby goat with 19-inch lugs
LISTEN up! This new kid on the block could be a world record breaker.
Ten-day-old goat Simba, meaning lion in Swahili, was born with extra-long ears, measuring almost 19in.
Dogs with long ears have made it into the Guinness World Records book, but no goats have yet had the honour. Owner Muhammad Hassan Narejo said: “We hope soon Simba will be a Guinness world record holder.”
Nubian goats tend to have the longest ears, but this baby goat is a different breed.
The animals use their ears to keep cool in hot weather. That’s handy because in Karachi, Pakistan where Simba lives, it’s 32C.
