After being born with abnormally long ears reaching 19 inches, a new-born goat could be crowned a world record holder at just days old

Simba the goat, which means lion in Swahili, was born just a few days ago in Karachi, Pakistan, but has already become a local celebrity.

The cute goat is roughly two weeks old, and his ears are so long that they drag on the floor as he moves.

Muhammad Hassan Narejo, Simba’s owner, is already a fan, saying, “We hope Simba will be a Guinness world record holder soon.”

You've GOAT to be KIDDING me! Simba's ears look just like Dumbo's - and he looks pretty proud of them too. He has quickly become a local celebrity in Pakistan due to his unusually long ears.Nose-to-nose: Simba and his owner already seem to have a special bond since he was born just days ago in Karachi, PakistanHe was born on a goat farm in Nagra Farm, Pakistan’s largest metropolis.

Goat farming is a popular enterprise in Pakistan, largely due to its adaptability to the country’s various topography.

There is presently no goat with the largest ears in the Guinness World Records, although there are canines with the same distinction.

As soon as Simba was born it was clear his ears were unique - but even as he was struggling to walk for the first time he didn't seem to mindNow Simba is a bit more steady on his feet he has no problems with his beautiful ears - which at 48 cm long can trail on the floor as he runs aroundThe kid looks ready to take off with these giant flaps - but he seems to prefer the ground unless he's with his owner. Videos taken by visitors show him becoming very uncomfortable when less experienced goat lovers pick him upSimba’s long ears are most likely the product of a genetic mutation or disease, although he appears to be doing fine.

Goats have long ears in general, but Nubian goats, which are said to be Simba’s breed, have the longest ears of any animal.

Goat ears are quite significant because they assist in keeping goats cool in hot weather.

Temperatures in Pakistan fluctuate due to the varied topography, however in the summer, peak temperatures can reach 47°C.

Fortunately for Simba, summer temperatures are somewhat cooler – but still very hot, hitting the mid-thirties on a regular basis.
