PAKISTANI goat has been named as having the world's longest ears as they measure at nearly half a metre long.
The baby goat, named as Simba, has ears that measure 46cm long, leaving them nearly touching the ground as she walks. Simba, who is just a few weeks old, is a Nubian – a goat breed that is known for its long ears.
Their ears are designed to keep them cool in the hot weather, but Simba has still beaten the world record with her extra long ears.
Simba currently lives in Karachi, Pakistan, where the temperature is currently reaching 32 degrees celsius.
And her owner, Muhammed Hassan Narejo, appears very proud of her impressive ears, as he shows her off in pictures.
It has been reported that Simba is becoming a “celebrity” in Pakistan thanks to her new world record.
Nubians tend to have long, bell-shaped ears that extend an inch below the face, and small upturned tails.
In Pakistan, the most common type of goat to be found is a Kamori which is found in the Sindh province and in neighbouring India.
Pakistan has been revealed as being the third-largest goat-producing country in the world, with around 54 million goats.
Some breeds are raised for meat and some are used for both meat and milk. Nubian goats produce a high-quality, high-butterfat milk, which can be drunk or used to make ice cream, yogurt, cheese, and butter.
Many people who are allergic to cows' milk can better tolerate the milk of a goat.
Due to their Middle-Eastern heritage, these goats can live in very hot climates and have a longer breeding season than other dairy goats.
They are the most popular dairy breed in the US.
Goat farming in Pakistan is now playing a significant role in the nation’s economy by producing three tonnes of mutton, 30 million tonnes of skin, 25 thousand tonnes of hair and yearly producing 900 thousand tonnes of milk, according to reports.
Pakistan - Where the men are men and the goats are nervous.

Goat ping, Elsie.
“Why does it only have 3 legs?”
“Hey! A goat this famous, you can’t eat all at once!”
Reminds me of the time LBJ picked up his Beagle by it’s ears and got reamed over it. Later Victor Borge, outstanding Danish pianist and comic, said after a concert at the White House that LBJ came backstage and “picked me up by my ears and told me I was a Great Dane”.
Those ears are called Muslim Handles.
It starts like this.
Then, eventually, pterodactyls.
can you hear me now...
Goatadactyls

Indeed. I sure hope those ears don’t serve as something for the herder to hold onto.
Just a baby. He’ll grow into them. lol
