Thu  07 July 2022:

In Pakistan, a young goat with unusually long ears has gained considerable attention in the media after its owner claimed it set a world record.

Simba, who was born in Karachi last month with unusually big ears that have now gotten even longer to reach 54 centimeters, is now leading a lavish life there.

Despite the fact that the Guinness World Records website does not currently list a category for “longest-eared goat,” breeder Mohammad Hasan Narejo claims he has contacted the organization to inquire about if his animal may be recognized as the Greatest Of All Time.

“Within 10 to 12 days of his birth he was already appearing in all the national and international media — and won a beauty contest,” a proud Narejo says.

“Within 30 days he became so popular that even a famous personality might take 25 to 30 years to achieve this level of fame.”

Warding off the ‘evil eye’

Simba’s ears are so long that Narejo has to fold them over his back to stop the little bleater from standing on them.

He has also designed a harness so that Simba can carry the lengthy lugholes around his neck.

Narejo is wary of the attention Simba has attracted — including from rival breeders — and has resorted to prayer and tradition to try to fend off any ill will.

“We recite Quranic verses and blow on him to cast away the evil eye,” Narejo said.

“Following a long tradition we inherited from our elders, we have fastened a black thread around him that is fortified with Quranic verses.”

Narejo plans to raise Simba as a stud to promote the image of Pakistan as a top goat breeding nation.

“Simba’s Pakistan name must roam the whole world,” he said.
