A kid goat with extraordinarily long ears has become something of a media star in Pakistan, with its owner claiming a world record that may or may not exist. Simba is now living a pampered existence in Karachi, where he was born last month with ears that were strikingly long — and have grown further to reach 54 centimetres. Breeder Mohammad Hasan Narejo says he has approached 'Guinness World Records' to see if his charge can be included as the Greatest Of All Time, although a category for "longest-eared goat" does not currently appear on the organisation's website.
"Within 10 to 12 days of his birth he was already appearing in all the national and international media — and won a beauty contest'', a proud Narejo says. "Within 30 days he became so popular that even a famous personality might take 25 to 30 years to achieve this level of fame." — AFP
