KARACHI 08 July (Online): Some social media stars win their fame through their looks, others through their jokes. Simba the baby goat has won over the web with his astonishingly long ears \u2014 22 inches and growing.<\/p>\n
The tawny-coated kid goat has attracted thousands of followers on YouTube and other channels since he was born in Karachi on June 4.<\/p>\n
His breeder, Mohammad Hassan Narejo, has sent Simba\u2019s details to the Guinness Book of Records, though he is not sure it keeps track of such measurements. He is still waiting for an answer.<\/p>\n
When Simba was born, his ears were 19 inches long. They have grown another three inches in just over a month and are showing no signs of stopping.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got a special velvet harness or pouch to keep his ears, so he can run and play with ease without entangling his ears,\u201d Narejo told the news agency.<\/p>\n
Narejo works in the air traffic control department of Karachi airport, but his passion is goat breeding, and he has great plans for Simba.<\/p>\n
\u201cI plan to preserve Simba\u2019s semen for artificial insemination so if, God forbid, he is no more his breed can continue,\u201d Narejo said.<\/p>\n
He feeds Simba milk three times a day and has taken other steps to ensure his wellbeing \u2014 a black thread around the animal\u2019s throat to ward off the evil eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvil eye can destroy a mountain. He is just a kid goat with celebrity status,\u201d Narejo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
