Just like in the movie Dumbo, some animals are born with extraordinarily large ears, and what makes them different also makes them very special. Big-eared animals can win hearts around the world and even end up in the record books.

Now, a goat with incredibly long ears is becoming a sensation and is determined to set a world record, even if it means making a new one.

Simba, a baby goat from Karachi, Pakistan, has been making waves in his home country thanks to a unique and striking attribute: he has enormous ears, measuring 54 cm or approximately 22 inches.

Simba’s owner, goat breeder Mohammad Hasan Narejo, says the unique boy has become a media sensation in Pakistan. He told AFP that in just one month, Simba has reached levels of fame that most celebrities only dream of, and has also attracted unprecedented attention.

“It has made not only me but Pakistan proud as well,” Mohammad told AFP.

“Within 10 to 12 days of her birth, she was already appearing in all the national and international media and won a beauty pageant.”

Mohammad believes that Simba probably has longer ears than any goat in the world and wants to make it official. But unfortunately, Guinness World Records doesn’t have a category for “Longest Goat Ears.”

But the owner says he has been working to verify the record with Guinness: “They have accepted our request. Within 10 to 12 weeks, a team from the Guinness Book of World Records will be here in Pakistan to measure his ears,” he told the Times of India.

According to their website, Guinness holds records for longest dog ears, longest bunny ears, longest bat ears, and even longest human ear hair, so surely they could add a new category for Simba. While he’s making it into the record books, Simba is living his best life, basking in the attention and becoming a bit of a local celebrity. His remarkable ears are protected with special harnesses, and Mohammad takes a few spiritual steps to ensure his goat is safe from harm.
