In other words, the newborn little goats are really cute!
furry body,
Playful little tail,
And long... Long ears...
This is not a P-chart.
The lamb in the photo was born in Pakistan and is called Simba. Don't look at it only a few days after it was born, but it has become a famous local sheep, and the reason is also obviously "ear" is easy to see...
Simba was born on a goat farm in Pakistan.
Pakistanis prefer to raise goats over traditional sheep because they are more survivable and adapt to a variety of different terrains.

In order to be more adaptable to Pakistan's climate, local herders prefer to raise a breed called Nubian goat.
This goat has the longest ears of all breeds of goats.
The long ears can help them dissipate heat and survive the high temperatures of up to 47 degrees Celsius in Pakistan during the summer months.
(Nubian Goat)
Simba is a Nubian goat.
Veterinarians speculate that Simba's long ears may be the result of a genetic mutation that makes nubian sheep's already long ears longer.
Luckily, Simba got along well with his big ears, and the special ears didn't cause him pain for the time being.
Now Simba is only two weeks old, but his ears are already 48 centimeters long.
Ears may even drag on the ground when walking.

When it was picked up, Simba looked as magical and cute as the Dumbo in the cartoon.
Now, nurtured by his master, Simba has survived the most difficult adaptation period when he was born, and can already run around with his big ears.
The host said he would feed Simba well.
And young Simba also has a lot to learn, such as how to keep his ears from knotting in the wind...
Simba's owner said that although there is no "goat with the longest ear" in the current Guinness Book of World Records, he believes that Simba will soon become the holder of the world record...
Netizens also like the cute Simba:
What a cute little goat.
Hope the host takes good care of it.
What a happy little goat. When it grows up, the ear won't touch the ground anymore, so there's no need to worry about it tripping.
Then again,
Although there are no "goats with the longest ears" on the Guinness Book of Records, there are still many strange and interesting goat records:
For example, although there is no goat with the longest ears, there are goat breeds with the shortest ears:
It's a goat called LaMancha, the shortest with almost no outer ears, and the longest one is only 2.54 centimeters, which at first glance looks like it has no ears.
Oldest Goat:
The oldest of the goats, named McGinty, lived for 22 years and 5 months before dying in November 2003.
(Pictured is Britain's oldest sheep, Jarvis)
The most expensive goats:
The most expensive goat in the world is an Angolan ram that grows up in New Zealand.
On 25 January 1985, it was sold for NZ$140,000 (then $82,600).
(Pictured is Australia's most expensive goat, sold for $21,000 in 2021)
Largest goat:
The largest goat in the world is an English Sanen goat named Mostin, which has a shoulder height of 111.7 cm and a total length of 167.6 cm,
(The world's largest goat in existence, weighing 314 kg)
The largest goat with horns:
The largest goat in the horns, Called Albino, is still alive and lives in Switzerland.
Its horns are 144 cm long.
How to say it,
I hope Simba can grow up healthy and become the holder of the world record, just like these sheep predecessors...
