A goat in Karachi, Pakistan, named Simba, is now an internet sensation thanks to his unusually long ears.
Simba’s two ears each measure 21 inches long and have made him quite a name in his hometown.
The goat’s breeder, Mohammad Hasan Narejo, said he saw stardom from the start with Simba.
“Within 10 to 12 days of his birth, he was already appearing in all the national and international media — and won a beauty contest,” Narejo toldthe AFP news agency.

“Within 30 days, he became so popular that even a famous personality might take 25 to 30 years to achieve this level of fame,” he added.

Narejo told AFP he contacted Guinness World Records to register the animal as the world’s “Greatest of All Time” goat. There currently isn’t a Guinness World Record for the world’s “Greatest of All Time” goat or the world’s longest goat ears. Simba’s owner added that Guinness World Records agreed to send a team to measure Simba’s ears.
“They have accepted our application. Within 10 to 12 weeks, a team of Guinness Book of World Records will be here in Pakistan to measure its ears,“said Narejo.
As for what his future plans are for Simba, only time will tell. The goat breeder told AFP that he has no plans to sell the amazing animal right now and that he certainly sees greatness in his pet.
“Simba’s Pakistan name must roam the whole world,” he said.
