So cute: which animals got into the Guinness Book of Records and for what?

The Guinness Book of Records lists a large number of record-holding animals that we offer to admire and admire.

longest ass

The tallest living donkey is the 9-year-old American mammoth donkey Romulus, which measured 17 palms (172.72 cm) in 2013.

biggest owl

The Central European Owl Breed (Bubo Bubo) is the largest owl in the world, with an average length of 66-71 cm, a weight of 1.6-4 kg, and a wingspan of more than 1.5 m. It misses small cats and other animals.

shortest dog

The shortest living dog is Pearl (USA) at 9.14 cm tall, as certified on August 23, 2022 in Orlando, Florida, USA.

Pearl is a two-year-old Chihuahua and a relative of previous record holder Millie, who was 9.65cm tall on February 21, 2013.

longest pet cat

The tallest domestic cat ever, Arcturus Aldebaran Powers (48.4 cm), was confirmed on November 3, 2016 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

biggest cat alive

The largest living cat is Hercules, an adult male liger (a hybrid of a lion and a tiger) currently kept at Myrtle Beach Safari, a wildlife sanctuary in South Carolina, USA. Its total length is 3.33 m, height at withers 1.25 m and weight 418.2 kg.

Hercules eats about 13.6 kg of meat every day – about the weight of a two-year-old child – bathed in several liters of water.

Most tennis balls in a dog’s mouth

The world record for most tennis balls held in a dog’s mouth at one time is five. Augie, a golden retriever from Dallas, Texas, USA, successfully collected and held five tennis balls of the prescribed size on July 6, 2003.

The longest tail of a dog

Keon’s dog, an Irish wolfhound from Belgium, has the longest tail at 76.8 cm.

the smallest horse

Miniature Appaloosa Bombel (“Bubble”) from Poland – so named because of its round shape. And this is the shortest male, only 56.7 cm tall from hooves to scapula.

The widest span of the horns

The seven-year-old Texas Longhorn from Alabama earned a place in the Book of Records thanks to its huge horns. The poncho stand is 323.74 cm from end to end, which is more than twice the length of a concert hall.

This means that the ox not only has the most horns in a living bull, but also eliminates all past rivals and holds the record for the most horn distribution ever in an ox.

The world’s largest crocodile

Currently, the largest crocodile in captivity is Cassius (about 100 years old), its length is 5.48 m – this is the equivalent of two ping-pong tables placed close to each other. It was caught in northern Australia in 1987 and transferred to Marineland Melanesia Wildlife Park, where it remains to this day.

world’s oldest animal

Born around 1832, five years before Queen Victoria’s coronation, Jonathan the Turtle will turn 191 in 2023. This makes it the oldest known land animal alive today.

A Butterfly’s Longest Journey

Released by Donald A. Davis on September 10, 1988 at Preskill Provincial Park near Brighton, Canada, a tagged male monarch (Danaus plexippus) was captured on April 8, 1989 in Austin, Texas, USA. It is thought to spend the winter in Mexico as this moth cannot withstand the low winter temperatures in Texas. Therefore, the butterfly traveled at least 4,635 km; this is the distance measured from release to their wintering grounds and north to Austin, Texas, USA. However, the actual distance traveled could have been twice that figure.
