Oct. 13 (UPI) — A British farm is now home to a pair of record-breaking donkeys thanks to one’s staggering height and the other’s impressively long ears.
Guinness World Records announced Dynamic Derrick is the tallest living donkey in the world, standing at 5 feet and 5 inches from hoof to withers.
His next-stall neighbor, Bambou, has the longest ears on a living donkey, measuring 1 foot and 1 inch long.
The donkeys, residents of the Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary in Huttoft, Lincolnshire, were officially measured and earned their records on the same day.
Tracy Garton, owner of the Radcliff Sanctuary, said Derrick’s parents were also tall, but not quite as gargantuan as their son.
“No one can believe he’s a donkey: they all think he’s a mule because he’s so big,” Garton told The New York Post.
