Simba the goat with 19in ears might get Guinness Book Record<br />A new-born goat could be named a world record holder at just days old after he was born with unusually long ears measuring 19 inches.<br /><br />Simba the goat, meaning lion in Swahili, was born in Karachi, Pakistan just days ago, but has already become a local celebrity.<br />The adorable goat is believed to be around two weeks old and his ears are so long they drag on the floor as he walks.<br /><br />Simba's owner, Muhammad Hassan Narejo, is already fond of Simba and said: 'We hope soon Simba will be a Guinness world record holder.'<br />He was born on a goat farm in Pakistan's largest city called Nagra Farm.<br /><br />Goat farming is a very common business in Pakistan - partly because they are suited to the varied terrain. <br /><br />There are currently no goat holding a Guinness World Records for the longest ears - but there are dogs who hold the same honour.<br />Simba's long ears are probably the result of a gene mutation or a genetic disorder - but he appears to be getting along just fine.<br /><br />Goats generally tend to have long ears, but Nubian goats, which is reportedly Simba's breed, have the longest ears of all species.<br /><br />Goat ears serve a very important purpose as they help to keep them cool in hot temperatures.<br /><br />In Pakistan temperatures vary due to the varying terrain, but in summer top temperatures can hit 47C. <br /><br />Luckily for Simba, temperatures tend to be significantly lower than that - but still very hot, regularly reaching mid-thirties in summer<br />SUBSCRIBE 4 MORE https://6ixworldnews.blogspot.com/ TWITTER @6IXWORLDNEWS<br />https://www.reddit.com/r/6IXWORLDNEWS/
