A rescued donkey named Hope, now owned by Hannah Frost, may have the world's longest ears. Measurements by a veterinarian showed Hope's ears exceeding 40 centimeters, potentially breaking the current record. Hannah is optimistic about Hope's chances of officially winning the title.
"She is the sweetest, most stoic donkey. Whenever she arrived, she was actually pretty depressed and pretty shut down, and as you can see she's very outgoing. She's got her personality back", said Hannah.
It was her vet who noticed the length of Hope's ears. That sparked her into doing her own research. She discovered the current world record holder. He lives in the United Kingdom with ears measuring 35 centimeters.On Friday, Hope's ears were measured by an expert to see if that is true! With measuring tape in hand, Julia Smith, a veterinarian with Central Georgia Equine Services, checked the length. "The base of the skull, where the ear connects, has a lot of muscle. So, it connects down here all the way up to the tip of the ear, and both ears measured a little over 40 centimeters on average", said Smith. That's more than 15 inches.Hannah has a little bit more paperwork before Guinnesses can make it official, but she says she is looking forward to Hope winning the title. "I am excited for her. I think her backstory comes from where she did. I think it's a good ending to a good story", said Hannah.Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's family said their now-federally charged bodyguard passed all of his background checks and drug tests.A retired Columbus homicide detective shared his thoughts on the double murder of dentist Spencer Tepe and his wife, Monique, near Winland Park.Airport police have taken a "suspicious individual" into custody, now identified as forty-year-old William GriffithNew details continue to emerge in the murder investigation of Spencer and Monique Tepe.
