His name is Heikens Ark Jupiter, but he goes by Humphrey, and his height (or lack of) was tested\u00a0at Kalona Veterinary Clinic in Iowa,\u00a0USA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Humphrey lives on Lime Creek Farm in Iowa with the Gardner family and is a Miniature Zebu breed of bull. When they bid for Humphrey at an animal auction in 2017,\u00a0they thought he was a calf\u00a0based on his size, but no, he was\u00a0two\u00a0years old and had\u00a0fully grown to his\u00a0optimum\u00a0size,\u00a0which is no taller than a kitchen chair!\u00a0<\/p>\n Humphrey spends his days like any other farm animal, eating grass and exploring the field, but what makes him unique amongst the rest is that he is now a Guinness World Records title holder.\u00a0<\/p>\n A telling tail about\u00a0the cat who owns it\u00a0<\/p>\n Next up we have an animal who clawed his way into the record books,\u00a0with a purr-fectly\u00a0long tail.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr. Pugsley Addams (USA) is\u00a0a\u00a0Maine Coon (silver) breed of cat who holds\u00a0two Guinness World Records titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n On 24 February 2025\u00a0he was confirmed to be the title holder for\u00a0longest tail on a domestic cat living<\/a>, and to also have the\u00a0longest tail on a domestic cat ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n This gorgeous grey feline is from Mound, Minnesota, and\u00a0lives with his two sisters Winnie and Dutchess, and his brother,\u00a0called Gomez. The busy household is looked after by cat lover Amanda Cameron,\u00a0who told GWR that Pugsley is \u201cincredibly curious,\u00a0adventurous\u00a0and smart\u201d.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cHe is\u00a0definitely the\u00a0biggest troublemaker of the house and\u00a0VERY creative\u00a0when it comes to new\u00a0ways\u00a0he can be mischievous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The family always knew that his tail was super long, but when the time came to finally get the measuring tape out, it came to\u00a0a length of\u00a046.99 cm (18.5 in).<\/p>\n Read about more record-breaking animals in our dedicated section.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Tall and small: would these water buffalo be best mates?<\/p>\n Here we have two fascinating creatures that are the same species but come in very different\u00a0shapes and sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n First up is King Kong who is the current Guinness World Records title holder of\u00a0tallest living water buffalo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n This\u00a0rather large\u00a0creature is a behemoth bovine, and he lives at\u00a0Ninlanee\u00a0Farm\u00a0located\u00a0in Nakhon\u00a0Ratchasimo, Thailand.\u00a0<\/p>\n King Kong was born on 1 April 2021, and the owners of the farm instantly realized that he seemed a lot bigger than the other water buffalo,\u00a0in fact\u00a0he is around 50 cm taller than the average.\u00a0<\/p>\n This banana-eating buffalo who loves playtime with his humans was measured on 15 January 2025 and was found to have a height of 186 cm (6 ft 0.8 in). The measurement was taken from his hoof to the withers.<\/p>\n On the other side of the height scale is\u00a0the short but sweet Radha, who is the\u00a0shortest living water buffalo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n This female Murrah buffalo was born on her owner\u2019s farm in\u00a0Malawadi, Maharashtra,\u00a0India<\/a>\u00a0and was measured on 12 September 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n Once measured, it turned out that she was 83.8 cm (2 ft 8 in) which is only a couple of inches taller than fellow Guinness World Records title holder\u00a0Jyoti Amge<\/a>\u00a0(India) who is the\u00a0shortest woman living.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Nothing short of a legend: meet the tiny horse with a\u00a0big reputation\u00a0<\/p>\n Think of a horse and you probably picture a creature\u00a0with long legs and a luscious\u00a0mane galloping off into the sunset?\u00a0Well,\u00a0this short king\u00a0is as gorgeous as any horse,\u00a0just slightly on the smaller side.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pumuckel\u00a0is the title holder\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0shortest living horse (male)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0this is a record that he broke on 16 August 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Pugsley](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/longest-tail-cat-pugsley-on-cat-tree.jpg\")
