As we know, only the most unusual and unique achievements, unmatched anywhere in the world, are included in the Guinness Book of World Records. It turns out that pets also have some unusual record-breakers, and in this article, we'll meet some of them.
The St. Bernard with the longest tongue
A St. Bernard named Mochi became famous for her incredibly long tongue—18.58 cm. At just two years old, she was adopted from a shelter in North Dakota by Carla Rickert. They have been inseparable ever since.
But a long tongue still causes problems, since the dog has to be fed in a special way so that Mochi can swallow the treats, and debris constantly sticks to it.
Retriever and tennis balls
Golden Retriever Augie loves to run with tennis balls. But retrieving them one at a time apparently didn't appeal to the dog, so he learned to grab several at a time. As a result, Augie's ability to hide five balls in his mouth at once earned him a place in the record books.
The longest cat
The largest cat breed is the Maine Coon, with an average weight of about 8 kg.
But one of its representatives outgrew its fellows and became a record holder with a weight of 14 kg and a height of 120 cm.
His owner, Australian Stephie Hirst, saw that the cat was very large, but was surprised when representatives of the Guinness Book of Records contacted her one day.
Rose and the Frisbee
Another agile dog, six-year-old Rose, a Labrador-Retriever mix, can catch and hold seven Frisbees thrown at different intervals at the same time.
At the same time, when she grabs the next plate, she will not miss a single one from her mouth.
The tiniest dog
This is Chihuahua Millie, despite the care of her owners, she never grew, now her height is only 9.5 cm, weight - 450 g.
The first cat with endoprosthetics
Oscar the cat once had the misfortune of losing his hind legs. But doctors decided to help the poor fellow and gave him prosthetics.
Oscar became the first animal to undergo such an operation, and entered the book of records.
A dog that can run on two legs
This is Jiff, a Pomeranian.
He set two records at once: the first was for the speed of running on his hind legs (he covered 10 m in 6.5 seconds), and the second was for running on his front legs (5 m in 7.76 seconds).
In addition, Jiff can crawl backwards, wrap himself in a blanket, and ride a skateboard.
A basketball-playing rabbit from Israel
Binny the Rabbit loves basketball. Thanks to persistent training, he set a world record by scoring seven baskets in a minute.
This wasn't easy, as the rabbit had to hop 50 cm to the basket and back without dropping the ball.
These are the unusual abilities and capabilities our pets demonstrate. Every year, new contenders for the Guinness Book of World Records appear. Take a closer look at your pets; they might also possess unusual abilities or appearance.
