This Puppy Has The Biggest Tail Ever
Though Keon the Irish wolfhound might not stand as tall as his Great Dane friends, this dog has some seriously impressive stats. He recently broke the record for having the biggest, longest tail out of any dog. His tail is absurdly huge at 30.2 inches – just think of all the things he probably knocks over around the house. Would you want to be hit with that tail as he’s happily wagging along?
Keon, which stands for “courageous warrior,” is apparently a gentle giant, albeit probably a little clumsy. He lives with his family in Westerlo, Belgium, where he gets plenty of belly rubs.
The World’s Largest Tortoise Was Weighed 919 lbs.
Tortoises are large, but none were larger than Goliath. In the 1960s, this hatchling found a home at Seffner’s Life Fellowship Bird Sanctuary where he kept growing until he reached a whopping 919 lbs. Though most tortoises reach their maximum size at age 30, Goliath never stopped growing.
Giant tortoises like Goliath thrive in the Galapagos islands and the Aldabra Atoll. It’s estimated that nearly 25,000 of these creatures call those areas home, but they were once more widespread.
Though Goliath passed away in 2002, his legacy as the largest tortoise lives on.
These Mega-Horns Aren’t Photoshopped
This steer may not be the biggest cow by any means, but his giant horns are like something out of a sci-fi film. It looks like they’ve been CGI-ed four our wildest fantasies, but they’re totally authentic. Lurch, an African Watusi steer, has the largest horn circumference of any steer in the world at 37.5 inches. His horns were eventually his downfall. The poor critter died in 2010 when cancer at the base of his horns spread. The legend of Lurch will always exist in our memories and he’s survived by his doting owner Janice Wolf, who resides in Gassville, Arkansas.
