Texas Longhorns are famous for their…well, long horns, but Poncho stood out among the rest. Owner Jeral Pope decided that he just had to have this animal when he noticed one day a small herd of these steers outlined against the sunset. He knew at the moment he had to get to one. He found Poncho at 6 months and have been best friends ever since.
While the horns look pretty intimidating, the Pope family insists that Poncho is nothing but a huge softy. In May 2019, Poncho made the Guinness World records for having the largest horns on a living steer. The horns span at 10 feet and 7.4 inches. That’s wider than two grand pianos.
Barivel the Monster Domestic Cat
The longest domestic cat in the world is a fluffy feline named Barivel. Hailing from Italy, Barivel is a Maine Coon cat that measures at 3 feet and 11.2 inches long, officially making him the longest domesticated cat in the world, Guinness World Record official. At that size, you may as well trade it in for a baby tiger.
Though we bet that Barivel is irreplaceable. While this cat may be massive, it looks terribly domesticated and would probably never be caught dead pouncing on a mouse. From the looks of that quality fur, Barivel must have it pretty good.
Blossom the Whale of a Cow
Born to two totally normal-sized parents, Blossom the Cow was recorded to be the tallest cow in the world in 2014. The female Holstein belonged to the proud owner Patty Meads-Hanson who has cared for dear Blossom since she was eight weeks old. When Patty's father noticed the unusual and continuous growth, he suggested that Guinness World Records ought to check it out, thus making it official.
Blossom reached a height of 74.8 inches (over 6 feet tall.) Unfortunately, the cow passed away in May 2015 at age 13. According to Patty, Blossom lived a wonderful life, filled with daily chin rubs.
Bleppity Blop
'Why walk when your person can carry you?' is probably what this fluffy pup was thinking on his morning walk. Some might even say he's a bit heavy to carry, but he'll just say he's a bit husky. If we're going to be completely honest, we feel like this cutie is what you get when you cross a dog with a polar bear.
Surely he can't handle such warm conditions. Whatever the case maybe, his dog-ma has quite a handful with him. Do you think he realizes how big he is? We don't think it's worth the effort, to be honest.
This Dog Has The Longest Tounge
Speaking of Pekinese dogs, this little thing has won the record for the longest tongue on a dog in the world. In 2011, Puggy the Pekinese who hails from Texas and belongs to owner Becky Stanford has a tongue that hangs at 4.5 inches. That's longer than the tongue of any other dog and considering that this is one tiny breed, it is extremely impressive.
While this Puggy is a cutie, the slobbering factor might be a little too much to handle with a tongue like that. But having a the longest tongue in the world must have many pros and cons - especially when you are a dog.
