What is the heaviest pig recorded in history?
List of pigs
The world record for the heaviest pig so far is held by Big Bill, owned by Elias Buford Butler of Jackson, Tennessee. It was a Poland China breed of hog that tipped the scales at 2,552 lb (1,157 kg) in 1933. Bill was due to be exhibited at the Chicago World Fair when he broke a leg and had to be put down. At about this point in time, the trend in hog production began to shift to hogs that were much trimmer and very lean.
Robert Earl Hughes
It is often said he was buried in a piano case. This error stems from a sentence that appeared in successive editions of the Guinness Book of World Records, which read, "He was buried in a coffin the size of a piano case." His headstone notes that he was the world's heaviest man at a confirmed .https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6qxf5u (The Seinfeld Story)
Wild turkey
The record-sized adult male wild turkey, according to the National Wild Turkey Federation, weighed , with records of tom turkeys weighing over uncommon but not rare. While it is usually rather lighter than the waterfowl, after the trumpeter swan ("Cygnus buccinator"), the turkey has the second heaviest maximum weight of any North American bird. Going on average mass, several other birds on the continent, including the American white pelican ("Pelecanus erythrorhynchos"), the tundra swan ("Cygnus columbianus columbianus") and the very rare California condor ("Gymnogyps californianus") and whooping crane ("Grus americana") surpass the mean weight of turkeys. On one hand, none of these other species are as sexually dimorphic in size as the wild turkey, but on the other, they are also far less numerous and are not legally hunted unlike the turkey, thousands of which are weighed every year during hunting season.
List of pigs
Ton Pig was a domestic hog from China owned by Xu Changjin that weighed in at 1,984 pounds (900 kg). Ton died from lack of mobility because of obesity on February 4, 2004. It was sent to the Liaoning Agriculture Museum in Shenyang, for display.
Gloucestershire Old Spots
The Gloucestershire Old Spots (also "Gloucester, Gloucester Old Spot, Gloucestershire Old Spot" or simply "Old Spots") is an English breed of pig which is predominantly white with black spots. It is named after the county of Gloucestershire. The Gloucestershire Old Spots pig is known for its docility, intelligence, and prolificity. Boars reach a mature weight of 600 lb (272 kg) and sows 500 lb (227 kg). The pigs are white with clearly defined black (not blue) spots. There must be at least one spot on the body to be accepted in the registry. The breed's maternal skills enable it to raise large litters of piglets on pasture. Its disposition and self‑sufficiency should make it attractive for farmers raising pasture pigs and those who want to add pigs to diversified operations.
Largest organisms
The heaviest living animals are all cetaceans, and thus also the largest living mammals. Since no scale can accommodate the whole body of a large whale, most whales have been weighed by parts.The following is a list of the heaviest wild land animals, which are all mammals. The African elephant is now listed as two species, the African bush elephant and the African forest elephant, as they are now generally considered to be two separate species.
Pennyweight
Pennyweight and grains are still used to weigh gooseberries in competitions in Cheshire, northwest UK. Over the Pennines in Yorkshire the alternative drams and grains measurement has been used since a new set of scales was purchased by the Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society in 1937. As of 2018, the world record for the heaviest gooseberry of 41 dwt 11 gr was held by Kelvin Archer of Cheshire.
Huchen
There is no international convention nor single agreed body concerned with verification of records and mandated with the task, however there are many modern and historical records for the largest huchen caught. Among these recorded is fish weighing , caught in February 1985 in Spittal an der Drau in Austria,; also one weighing , which is stuffed and was probably grown on fish-farm in Austria for breeding.
Other storied examples of recorded specimens with existing photographs and media reports include , caught in January 1938 by Bosnian railway worker and angler Halil Sofradžija at the Dragojevića Rapids on the Drina river, near the town of Ustikolina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This case was recorded on photograph and reportage was later publeshed in prime Serbian daily Politika on 23 February 1938. Dževat Šarkinović, angler from Plav, caught Danube salmon weighting , long, in late spring of 1985 in lake Plav, and gave it to Hotel "Plavsko jezero" who presented it at "International Fair of Hunting and Fishing" in Novi Sad where it was noted as a "world record". Today, this specimen stands as stuffed exhibit at the wall of hotel's foyer in Plav. Another recorded trophy from the Drina include huchen caught by angler Remzija Krkalić from Foča in 1940, weighing .
British Record (Rod Caught) Fish Committee
In December 2016, The Angling Times reported that the carp "Big Rig" had been rejected as a record on the basis that it had been cultivated, as in been fed to a record weight before being released into the venue where it was finally caught. This was the first time the BRFC had rejected a record course fish on the grounds of it being cultivated. The carp had been caught at 69lb 13oz by Tom Doherty on 26 Sept 2016 at The Avenue, RH Fisheries in Shropshire and was subsequently caught again later by Robby Harrison at the largest weight for a carp caught in British waters of 71lb 4oz on 23 Oct 2016, of which also was never to be confirmed as an official British record.
Shire horse
The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire named Mammoth (also known as Sampson), born in 1848. He stood high, and his peak weight was estimated at . At over , a Shire gelding named Goliath was the Guinness Book of World Records record holder for the world's tallest horse until his death July 3, 2014 on the Priefert Ranch in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.
Marsupial lion
The marsupial lion is the largest meat-eating mammal known to have ever existed in Australia, and one of the largest marsupial carnivores from anywhere in the world (although see "Thylacosmilus" and "Borhyaena"). Individuals ranged up to around high at the shoulder and about from head to tail. Measurements taken from a number of specimens show they averaged in weight, although individuals as large as might not have been uncommon, and the largest weight was of . This would make it comparable to female lions and female tigers in general size.
List of largest fish
Much larger bony fish existed prehistorically, the largest ever known having been "Leedsichthys", of the Jurassic period in what is now England. This species is certainly the largest bony fish ever and perhaps the largest non-cetacean marine animal to have ever existed. Estimates of the size of this fish range from and mass from 20 to 50 tons. A maximum size of and 25–30 tons has been deemed to be most realistic.The largest living lobe-finned fish is the coelacanth. The average weight of the living West Indian Ocean coelacanth, ("Latimeria chalumnae"), is , and they can reach up to in length. Specimens can weigh up to . The largest lobe-finned fish of all time was "Hyneria" at up to .
Dinosaur size
One of the tallest and heaviest dinosaurs known from good skeletons is "Giraffatitan brancai" (previously classified as a species of "Brachiosaurus"). Its remains were discovered in Tanzania between 1907 and 1912. Bones from several similar-sized individuals were incorporated into the skeleton now mounted and on display at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin; this mount is tall and long, and would have belonged to an animal that weighed between . One of the longest complete dinosaurs is the "Diplodocus", which was discovered in Wyoming in the United States and displayed in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Natural History Museum in 1907.
Banpeiyu
A Banpeiyu fruit became the world's heaviest pomelo when it was presented by Seiji Sonoda from Japan for the Guinness World Record at the Banpeiyu Competition in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto, Japan on December 25, 2005. This specimen weighed 4.8597 kg (10 lb 11.3 oz) with a circumference of 83.5 cm (32.8 in).
Egg
The largest recorded egg is from a whale shark, and was in size. Whale shark eggs typically hatch within the mother. At and up to , the ostrich egg is the largest egg of any living bird, though the extinct elephant bird and some dinosaurs laid larger eggs. The bee hummingbird produces the smallest known bird egg, which weighs half of a gram (around 0.02 oz). Some eggs laid by reptiles and most fish, amphibians, insects and other invertebrates can be even smaller.
Cephalopod size
The heaviest known cephalopod, and the largest living invertebrate, is the colossal squid. The largest recorded specimen of this species, caught in the Ross Sea in 2007, weighed . However, its beak is not the largest known from this species; even bigger colossal squid beaks have been recovered from the stomachs of sperm whales, indicating that this species can grow larger still.
Notochoerus
"Notochoerus" were among the largest pigs ever, with adults weighing up to 450 kg (990 lbs). These pigs were likely derived from the genus "Nyanzachoerus". Like other tetraconodontine pigs, the males had ornamental growths on their skulls, formed from enamel.
Largest organisms
The African bush elephant ("Loxodonta africana"), of the order Proboscidea, is the largest living land animal. A native of various open habitats in sub-Saharan Africa, this elephant is commonly born weighing about . The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1974. It was a male measuring from trunk to tail and lying on its side in a projected line from the highest point of the shoulder to the base of the forefoot, indicating a standing shoulder height of . This male had a computed weight of 12.25 tonnes.
Cabbage
There are several "Guinness Book of World Records" entries related to cabbage. These include the heaviest cabbage, at , heaviest red cabbage, at , longest cabbage roll, at , and the largest cabbage dish, at . In 2012, Scott Robb of Palmer, Alaska, broke the world record for heaviest cabbage at .
Chireta
In 2002, a Somontano meat packer initiated a chireta festival, which has been running every year since then, around the third weekend of October. In 2002, they achieved a record entry in the "Guinness World Records" for the longest and heaviest chireta in the world: long, weighing a total of .
Intensive pig farming
In 1997, Grampian Country Foods, then the UK’s largest pig producer, pointed out that pigmeat production costs in the UK were 44 p/kg higher than on the continent. Grampian stated that only 2 p/kg of this was due to the ban on stalls; the majority of the extra costs resulted from the then strength of sterling and the fact that at that time meat and bone meal had been banned in the UK but not on the continent. A study by the Meat and Livestock Commission in 1999, the year that the gestation crate ban came into force, found that moving from gestation crates, to group housing added just 1.6 pence to the cost of producing 1 kg of pigmeat. French and Dutch studies show that even in the higher welfare group housing systems – ones giving more space and straw – a kg of pigmeat costs less than 2 pence more to produce than in gestation crates.
Kairuku grebneffi
Kairuku grebneffi is an extinct species of giant penguin. It is among the tallest and heaviest penguins attested to, weighing 50% more than modern emperor penguins. The species is marked by a slender body and long, slender bill. "K. grebneffi" lived in what is now New Zealand during the late Oligocene, going extinct around 25 million years ago. Bones of the species were first discovered in 1977, but it was not classified as a distinct species until 2012.
Large Black pig
In 1954 there were 2195 Large Black pigs recorded, 269 licensed boars and 1926 registered sows, representing approximately 3.4% of the UK pig population of about 65,000. At the end of 2011 there were 421 Large Black pigs (86 boars and 335 sows) registered, a small increase over the 2010 figure of 405 (65 boars, 340 sows). The Large Black is the rarest historic pig breed in Britain, although numbers are slowly on the rise due to an increase in demand for meat from traditional pig breeds. In 2011 it was classified as "vulnerable" on the watchlist of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, meaning that there are believed to be between 200 and 300 breeding females. The British Pig Association currently recognizes 6 boar lines and 24 sow lines within the breed.
Weekly World News
Numerous stories regarding shockingly obese people and animals made the pages of "WWN", the most popular of which was Tonya, the world's fattest cat. After Tonya was first discovered, "WWN" encouraged readers to send in their guesses as to exactly how much they believed Tonya weighed. Weighing in at over 80 lbs., Tonya has been featured being adopted, and possibly sat on, by the world's fattest woman. Later stories involved Tonya's attempts to lose weight through the "Catkins" diet, her struggle with anorexia, and claims that she had been eaten by the world's thinnest woman. Other stories have featured the exploits of the world's fattest couple at the gym, the world's fattest baby, and even a similar weight-guessing contest featuring the world's fattest dog. One continuing story featured a morbidly obese man named Buster Simcus who had lost so much weight that it left 80 pounds of loose skin hanging off his body that he was planning to have surgically removed. By the next story, he had regained the weight, severely damaging his scars.
Irish elk
The Irish elk stood about tall at the shoulders carrying the largest antlers of any known cervid (a maximum of from tip to tip and weighing up to ). In body size, the Irish elk tied with the extant moose subspecies of Alaska ("Alces alces gigas") as the third largest known deer, second and first belonging to the genus "Cervalces" ("C. scotti" and "C.latifrons" respectively). The Irish elk is estimated to have attained a total mass of . Large specimens weighed or more, comparable with the Alaskan moose. A significant collection of "M. giganteus" skeletons can be found at the Natural History Museum in Dublin.
Draft horse
The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire named Sampson (later Mammoth), who was born in 1846. He stood high, and his peak weight was estimated at . At over , a Shire gelding named Goliath was the Guinness Book of World Records record holder for the world's tallest horse until his death in 2001.
Guinea pig
Peruvian research universities, especially La Molina National Agrarian University, began experimental programs in the 1960s with the intention of breeding larger-sized guinea pigs. Subsequent university efforts have sought to change breeding and husbandry procedures in South America, to make the raising of guinea pigs as livestock more economically sustainable. The variety of guinea pig produced by La Molina is fast-growing and can weigh . All the large breeds of guinea pig are known as "cuy mejorados" and the pet breeds are known as "cuy criollos". The three original lines out of Peru were the "Perú" (weighing by 2 weeks), the "Andina", and the "Inti".
Big James Henderson
James Henderson is the current world record holder for heaviest drug tested raw bench press in history and the highest raw bench press ever done in a full powerlifting 3-lift-meet (squat-bench press-deadlift). His record setting lift was 711.0 lbs. (322.5 kg) and was performed on July 13, 1997 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the 3rd attempt at the USPF Senior Nationals (IPF/USPF sanctioned three-lift-event) under strict IPF-conditions. On the same day, he pressed on the 1st, on the 2nd and even went for on the 4th, but barely missed it. Henderson bench pressed unequipped in the strictest meaning of the word - without belt, without elbow bandages and even without wrist wraps - in just a T-shirt and a singlet. Although Ted Arcidi was the first man to bench press , Henderson has his place in the record books as the first ever to press 700 pounds raw, without a bench press shirt.
Monster Pig
The Associated Press (AP) continues to keep the monster pig image in their archives with no disclosures of the forced perspective photo trick having been employed. The monster pig photo has an AP archive caption as if it is a legitimate photograph. The caption states: "In this photo released by Melynne Stone, Jamison Stone, 11, poses with a wild pig he killed near Delta, Ala., May 3, 2007. Stone's father says the hog weighed a staggering and measured from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. If claims of the animal's size are true, it would be larger than "Hogzilla," the huge hog killed in Georgia in 2004."
Dinocrocuta
The largest species, "D. gigantea", is known to have reached head-to-body lengths and shoulder heights of 1.9 meters (6.2 ft) and 1.3 meters (4.3 ft) for the largest individuals, with total skull lengths of 43 cm (17 in). In terms of weight, it was originally stated to have weighed up to 380 kg (838 lbs). However, the method used has been known to overestimate the masses of extinct carnivorans. Smaller individuals, such as the holotype specimen, hit around 200 kg (441 lbs). Based off this smaller specimen, the largest specimens of this species would have reached weights close to 300 kg (661.4 lbs), which rivals the mass of the largest tiger sub-species, and is only exceeded by "Smilodon populator", "Panthera atrox", and several amphicyonids and ursids. The other species were smaller in size, but still quite large compared to hyena species alive today.
National Pig Day
On Long Island a family gives their pot-bellied pig a special treat, refrains from eating pork and prepares a special National Pig Day meal. At the Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank, the Cornell Cooperative Extension celebrated National Pig Day by sponsoring a pig program. Families visited farm pigs where "the piglet cuddled today will soon grow to 220 pounds and wind up in 'hog heaven.'" The meat from the farm is fed to the inmates at the Suffolk County Jail, "so it was a strange day viewing pigs as if they were in a zoo, but knowing that their time was limited... except, of course, for the stud pigs, or boars, and their ladies-in-waiting, the sows." Big Bert was a 650-pound "hunka-hunka burning-love" at the farm. Miss Piggy and Porky Pig were honored and porcine facts presented: the world's largest pig weighed 2,660 pounds, and pigs sailed with Christopher Columbus. Attendees included the owner of Lil Pig Out, a company on the Island that makes pig-shaped candies. "We've got Gummy Pigs and Good 'n Piggy," the owner said in between viewing pigs and handing out pink-colored pig pens.
Green anaconda
The green anaconda is the world's heaviest and one of the world's longest snakes, reaching long. More typical mature specimens reportedly can range up to , with the females, at around a mean length of , being generally much larger in adulthood than the male, which averages around . Weights are less well studied, though will reportedly range from in an average-range adult. It is the largest snake native to the Americas. Although it is slightly shorter than the reticulated python, it is far more robust: the bulk of a 4.5 m green anaconda would be comparable to a 7.4 m reticulated python. "Eunectes murinus" is probably the heaviest extant species of snake or squamate in the world, perhaps only rivaled by the Komodo dragon. Reports of anacondas 35–40 feet or even longer also exist, but such claims need to be regarded with caution, as no specimens of such lengths have ever been deposited in a museum and hard evidence is lacking. A $50,000 cash reward is offered for anyone who can catch an anaconda or longer, but the prize has not been claimed yet. The longest (and heaviest) verified specimen encountered by Dr. Jesús Antonio Rivas, who had examined thousands of anacondas, was a female measuring long and weighing .
The color pattern consists of olive green background overlaid with black blotches along the length of the body. The head is narrow compared to the body, usually with distinctive orange-yellow striping on either side. The eyes are set high on the head, allowing the snake to see out of the water while swimming without exposing its body.
Port Elgin, Ontario
Every year, on the first weekend in October, Port Elgin hosts a Pumpkinfest. Pumpkinfest is a competition between farmers to grow the largest pumpkin and other common farm crops. In 2004, a new record for the world's largest pumpkin (656 kg) was set at the festival. A new record (761 kg) was again set in 2009. The record was broken in 2016 with an 851 kg (1,877 lb.) vegetable. The previous Canadian record for a pumpkin was 824.86 kg (1818.5 lbs.). Pumpkinfest also features a large classic car show on both days of the festival.
The Old Stableyard, Liverpool
In 1924 two horses belonging to Liverpool Corporation, 'Vesuvius' and 'Umber', appeared at the British Empire exhibition at Wembley and from a standing start pulled a load estimated at 50 tons. This record has never been equaled or beaten and the two geldings received a heroes' welcome when they returned to Liverpool.
Reticulated python
A reticulated python named "Medusa" is considered by the "Guinness Book of World Records" to be the longest living snake ever kept in captivity. It was measured in 2011 as long, weighing .
World's longest hot dog
The current world's longest meat hot dog record holder measured and was manufactured by Novex of Paraguay in 2011. Sara Lee Corp. made a hot dog, long, in commemoration of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. "Guinness World Records" does not reflect this record in any of its publications as of 2006. Speculation surrounding the 1996-foot record is that although the hot dog was most likely continuous, the bun (an integral part of the hot dog unit) was not. Since October 2017 the town Flensburg, in Germany claimed to have manufactured the World's longest hot dog with .
Craven Heifer
The Craven Heifer (1807–1812) was a cow which lived in the early 19th century, and to this day remains the largest cow ever shown in England: weight , length nose to tip of rump , height at the shoulder , thickest girth
Avesta Municipality
The largest Dalecarlian horse ("Dalahäst") in the world is located in Avesta. It is 13 meters tall and weighs 67 tons.This table lists the national results at Avesta's municipal level since the 1972 Swedish municipality reform. The results of the Sweden Democrats from 1988 to 1998 were not published by the SCB at a municipal level due to the party's small size nationally at the time.
Draft horse
The Shire horse holds the record for the world's biggest horse; Sampson, foaled in 1846 in Bedfordshire, England, stood at his withers, and weighed approx .
Gaur
Gaurs are among the largest living land animals. Only elephants, rhinos, the hippopotamus ("Hippopotamus amphibius") and the giraffe ("Giraffa camelopardalis") consistently grow heavier. Two species that naturally co-exist with the gaur are heavier: the Asian elephant ("Elephas maximus") and Indian rhinoceros ("Rhinoceros unicornis"). By most standards of measurements, gaur is the largest wild bovid alive today. However, the shorter-legged, bulkier wild water buffalo ("Bubalus arnee") is similar in average body mass, if not maximum weight.
Chris Yates (fisherman)
Chris Yates is an angler, photographer, broadcaster, tea connoisseur and author. He is a former holder of the record for the heaviest-recorded British carp, a 51.5 lb specimen captured from Redmire pool in 1980. Yates is a former co-editor (with Jon Ward-Allen) of "Waterlog" magazine, and is a regular contributor to "The Idler".
P. C. &quot;Pete&quot; Pearson
Pearson left no detailed accounts of his hunting career and was loath to discuss the total number of elephants he shot or the largest tusks he ever harvested. It is has been estimated that over the course of his life, including his time as a poacher, legal hunter and elephant control officer, he shot as many as 2,000 elephant over his life, making him one of the most experienced elephant hunters of all time. Pearson shot one bull elephant in the Lado Enclave with tusks that weighed respectively, whilst Pearson told the Prince of Wales that in the Lado he shot a total of three bull elephants with tusks that weighed over each. A cow elephant Pearson shot had the heaviest tusks ever recorded for a cow, respectively, the tusks from that cow ended up in the Natural History Museum, London.
Titan (dog)
Titan (2005 – 31 March 2010) was an American male white Great Dane who was a holder of the Guinness World Record as the world's tallest dog. His official height was from the floor to his shoulder. The previous holder was another Great Dane, Gibson who measured , and died in August 2009. During the nomination process, Titan, who suffered from several health conditions, fought off competition from a Newfoundland from North Dakota and another Great Dane, from Arizona. On February 22, 2010 Titan was dethroned as world's tallest dog by Giant George, a Great Dane from Arizona.
Gigantopithecus
Gigantopithecus (from the Ancient Greek ' "giant", and ' "ape") is an extinct genus of ape that existed from perhaps nine million years to as recently as one hundred thousand years ago, at the same period as "Homo erectus" would have been dispersed, in what is now India, Vietnam, China and Indonesia placing "Gigantopithecus" in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominin species. The primate fossil record suggests that the species "Gigantopithecus blacki" were the largest known primates that ever lived, standing up to and weighing as much as , although some argue that it is more likely that they were much smaller, at roughly in height and in weight.
Poland China
The Poland China is a breed of domestic pig, first bred in the Ohio, United States, in 1816, deriving from many breeds including the Berkshire and Hampshire. It is the oldest American breed of swine. 
Poland China hogs are typically black, sometimes with white patches, and are known for their large size. Big Bill, the largest hog ever recorded at 2,552 lb (1,157 kg), was a Poland China. Poland Chinas rank highest in U.S. pork production in pounds of hog per sow per year.
African leopard
The African leopard is sexually dimorphic; males are larger and heavier than females. Between 1996 and 2000, 11 adult leopards were radio-collared on Namibian farmlands. Males weighed only, and females . The heaviest known leopard weighed about , and was recorded in South West Africa.
Cattle
The world record for the heaviest bull was , a Chianina named Donetto, when he was exhibited at the Arezzo show in 1955. The heaviest steer was eight-year-old 'Old Ben', a Shorthorn/Hereford cross weighing in at in 1910.
Duroc pig
Originally, the Duroc was a very large pig, but not as large as was the Jersey Red. Today, it is a medium-sized breed with a moderately long body and a slightly-dished face. The ears are drooping and not held erect. The color is often an orangish-brown, but ranges from a light-golden shade to a deep mahogany-red. The weight of a mature boar is about 400 kg, and the sow is about 350 kg.
Goliath frog
The goliath frog otherwise known as goliath bullfrog or giant slippery frog ("Conraua goliath") is the largest living frog on Earth. Specimens can grow up to 32 cm (12.6 in) in length from snout to vent, and weigh up to 3.25 kg (7.17 lb). This species has a relatively small habitat range in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Its numbers are dwindling due to habitat destruction and its collection for food and the pet trade.
Pig farming
Pigs are farmed in many countries, though the main consuming countries are in Asia, meaning there is a significant international and even intercontinental trade in live and slaughtered pigs. Despite having the world's largest herd, China is a net importer of pigs, and has been increasing its imports during its economic development. The largest exporters of pigs are the United States, the European Union, and Canada. As an example, more than half of Canadian production (22.8 million pigs) in 2008 was exported, going to 143 countries. Older pigs will consume eleven to nineteen litres (three to five US gallons) of water per day.
Pigasus (politics)
Pigasus was a 145-pound (66-kg) domestic pig who was nominated for President of the United States as a theatrical gesture by the Youth International Party on August 23, 1968, just before the opening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. The youth-oriented party (whose members were commonly called "Yippies") was an anti-establishment and countercultural revolutionary group whose views were inspired by the free speech and anti-war movements of the 1960s, mainly the opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War.
Sauropoda
The best evidence indicates that the most massive were "Argentinosaurus" (120 metric tons), "Puertasaurus" (80 to 100 metric tons ), "Alamosaurus", "Paralititan", "Antarctosaurus" (69 metric tons). There was poor (and now missing) evidence that so-called "Bruhathkayosaurus", might have weighed over 175 metric tons but this has been questioned. The weight of "Amphicoelias fragillimus" was estimated at 122.4 metric tons but 2015 research argued that these estimates may have been highly exaggerated. The largest land animal alive today, the Savannah elephant, weighs no more than .
Cotswold sheep
According to "Sheep!" magazine editor Nathan Griffith's book on the breed, the largest recorded representative of the Cotswold breed in America was Broadfield's Pride, owned by Charles Mattocks during the 1870s. This sheep was born in 1870 on the farm of William Lane of Gloucestershire, England, and attained the enormous weight of . Several of the lambs he sired attained weights of by one year old.
Daniel Lambert
At the time of Lambert's return to Leicester, his weight began to increase steadily, even though he was athletically active and, by his own account, abstained from drinking alcohol and did not eat unusual amounts of food. In 1805, Lambert's gaol closed. By this time, he weighed , and had become the heaviest authenticated person up to that point in recorded history. Unemployable and sensitive about his bulk, Lambert became a recluse.
Proboscidea
The Proboscidea (from the Greek and the Latin "proboscis") are a taxonomic order of afrotherian mammals containing one living family (Elephantidae) and several extinct families. This order, first described by J. Illiger in 1811, encompasses the trunked mammals. In addition to their enormous size, later proboscideans are distinguished by tusks and long, muscular trunks; these features were less developed or absent in the smaller early proboscideans. Beginning in the mid Miocene, most members of this order were very large animals. The largest land mammal today is the African elephant weighing up to 10.4 tonnes with a shoulder height of up to . The largest land mammal of all time may have also been a proboscidean: "Palaeoloxodon namadicus", which may have weighed up to with a shoulder height of up to , surpassing several sauropod dinosaurs (in height).
List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters
The Heffley's pet pig has appeared in all books except "The Getaway" since "The Long Haul", in which Manny Heffley won it at a country fair for correctly guessing the weight of a hog as 456Kg's . To the annoyance of Greg, the pig exhibits extraordinary intelligence and gains human characteristics. One running gag is that despite not having opposable thumbs, the pig opens objects such as soda cans or a jar full of candy corn. In "The Meltdown" the Pig throws a tantrum for being excluded from the trip to Isla de Corales in "The Getaway". Frank sends it to obedience schools, only for the Pig to escape on its second day there. The Pig is never found by the Heffleys despite numerous missing posters, and the pig’s fate is left unclear though Greg believes it is somewhere warm living it up.
Ubre Blanca
Ubre Blanca produced 109.5 liters (241 pounds) of milk on a single day in January 1982 – more than four times a typical cow's production. The cow also produced 24,268.9 liters of milk (about 55,090 pounds at 2.27 pounds per liter) in 305 days (one lactation period) ending in February 1982. Both feats were recognized by Guinness World Records as world records. The cow was a cross between a Holstein bull (also known as a dairy cow) and a zebu (native cow species that did not produce milk). The current annual production record is 75,275 pounds, set by LA-Foster Blackstar Lucy in 1998 at the LaFoster Dairy in Cleveland, North Carolina.
Santa Catarina's guinea pig
These insular guinea pigs have a much slower maturation rate than other cavies.
Researchers observed 4 distinct classes within "C. intermedia" by distinguishing ossified sutures; Age 1 is classified as young without any ossified sutures, Age 2 is classified as 1 ossified suture ranging <400grams, Age 3 is classified as a subadult missing one ossified suture and weighing 400-500g, Age 4 is classified as an adult with all three ossified sutures weighing over 500grams.
From age 1 individuals vary from 100g-150g when not bred in captivity (99g). The highest recorded age 1 cavy was 200g.
The lowest recorded mass for the adult Age 3 or 4 was 495g. Adult cavies have a mass greater than 500g. 
In comparison to other species of "Cavia", "C. intermedia" offspring can experience the highest ratio of offspring average mass to mother's average mass. The offspring can reach up to 24% of the mothers average mass.
Although the mass differences between sexes had no significance shown in the data, this is not normal for other cavy species. The male guinea pigs usually have higher masses.
Rhonda Roland Shearer
StinkyJournalism.org gained widespread media attention after it uncovered evidence that the shooting of a "Monster Pig" was, in fact, a hoax. "Monster Pig", also known as "Hogzilla II" and "Pigzilla", is the name of a large domestic farm-raised pig that was shot during a canned hunt on May 3, 2007, by an eleven-year-old boy, Jamison Stone. The location is disclosed as a low fence enclosure within the larger commercial hunting preserve called Lost Creek Plantation, outside Anniston, Alabama, USA. According to the hunters (there were no independent witnesses), the pig weighed 1,051 lb (477 kg).
Hampshire pig
The American National Swine Registry notes this as the fourth "most-recorded breed" of pig raised as livestock in the United States, and probably the oldest American breed of hog. It is believed to have derived from English Breed, found in northern England and Scotland. Importations of this hog breed to America were thought to have been made from Hampshire in England between 1827 and 1839. Pigs remaining in this part of England developed later into the Wessex Saddleback. Residents of Hampshire are often colloquially referred to as "Hampshire Hogs", a name which goes back at least to the 1790s.
Hampshire hogs are noted for being well-muscled and rapid growers, and for exhibiting good carcass quality when used as meat animals. When used as breeding stock, the sows of this breed have been praised for their capacity as mothers, having "extra longevity in the sow". Hampshires are good tempered; they do not grow as fast as many cross-breds, but they do grow faster than Yorkshires.
Big Bertha (cow)
Big Bertha held two Guinness World Records: she was the oldest cow recorded, dying just three months short of her 49th birthday, and she also held the record for lifetime breeding, having produced 39 calves. However, by 2006, the categories had been dropped from the "Guinness Book of World Records".
Zorba (dog)
Aicama Zorba of La-Susa or Zorba (26 September 1981 – ?) was a male Old English Mastiff who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the heaviest and longest dog in the world.
Canned hunt
In May 2007 a much-reported hunting trip involved the killing of 1,051 pound pet pig in an alleged canned hunt. The pig was named "Monster Pig" by the media and it was believed that the pig was a feral hog. It was soon discovered that the pig, previously named "Fred," had been someone's pet and was then sold to a hunting facility only a brief time before he was killed. On May 3, paying customers Mike Stone and his 11-year-old son, Jamison, hunted him in a fenced enclosure. Jamison shot Fred a total of eight times over a period of three hours.
European hedgehog
"E. europaeus" is unlike any other creature across most of its range. Where it co-exists with the Northern white-breasted hedgehog ("Erinaceus roumanicus"), the two species are difficult to distinguish in the field, the latter having a white spot on its chest. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "E. europaeus" is probably the largest species of hedgehog and is possibly the heaviest member of the Erinaceomorpha order, although the moonrat ("Echinosorex gymnura"), similar in average mass if not known to equal to the hedgehog's maximum weight, can attain a considerably greater length.
Liger
Hercules, the largest non-obese liger, is recognised by the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the largest living cat on Earth, weighing . Hercules was featured on the "Today Show", "Good Morning America", "Anderson Cooper 360", "Inside Edition", and in a "Maxim" article in 2005, when he was only three years old and already weighed .
Shen Dzu
Shen Dzu or God Pig, sometimes known as Holy pig (Traditional Chinese: 神豬, Simplified Chinese: 神猪; Mandarin Pinyin: shénzhū, Wade–Giles: shen-chu, Hokkien POJ: sîn-tu), are pigs that have been chronically fattened for use in Hakka religious and cultural ceremonies, for example, the New Year Lunar celebration in Sanxia, northern Taiwan. Pigs are fattened in a process similar to (and as controversial as) gavage to make them as large as possible in preparation for contests and awards at the festival. The heaviest pig is declared the winner and the owner may receive a prize. The winning pig and other pigs entered into the contest are ritually killed as a sacrifice to a city god or a local deity, a popular one being the deified Buddhist monk Qingshui Zushi.
Reticulated python
The specimen once widely accepted as the largest-ever "accurately" measured snake, that being Colossus, a specimen kept at the Highland Park Zoo (now the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the 1950s and early 1960s, with a peak reported length of from a measurement in November 1956, was later shown to have been substantially shorter than previously reported. When Colossus died on April 14, 1963, its body was deposited in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. At that time, its skeleton was measured and found to be in total length, and the length of its fresh hide was measured as – both measurements being significantly shorter than what had been previously estimated in 1956. The hide tends to stretch from the skinning process, and thus be longer than the snake from which it came – e.g., by roughly 20–40% or more. The previous reports had been constructed by combining partial measurements with estimations to compensate for "kinks", since it is virtually impossible to completely straighten an extremely large live python. Because of these issues, a 2012 journal article concluded that "Colossus was neither the longest snake nor the heaviest snake ever maintained in captivity." Too large to be preserved with formaldehyde and then stored in alcohol, the specimen was instead prepared as a disarticulated skeleton. The hide was sent to a laboratory to be tanned, but it was either lost or destroyed, and now only the skull and selected vertebrae and ribs remain in the museum's collection. There is considerable confusion in the literature over whether Colossus was male or female (females tend to be larger).
List of world records held by plants
The current records-breaking heavy-weighed fruit is still pumpkin but it is in 2014 that the new world record was proposed. The record-breaking pumpkin weighed . It was grown by Beni Meier. He broke 3 new world records in three weeks. This fruit was until today placed in the world record for heaviest fruit.
Heaviest trains
And a recorded 12000 tons train in 1993 with 100 six axle iron ore cars pulled by 6 GT26CW locomotives in three positions, Front, middle and at the end connected by locotrol.Sierra Leone had a narrow gauge railway with 5 t axleloads. Train loads were necessarily very limited, which increased costs counter-productively, as large numbers of small trains were needed to haul tonnages that heavier railways could haul with fewer
trains. For example, in 1956 fourteen modern 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratts were purchased from Beyer-Peacock. These locos increased the maximum load over 1:50 grades from 200 tons (203 tonnes) to 270 tons (274 tonnes).The world heaviest train record is registered as follow:
Welsh pig
The Welsh is a breed of domestic pig native to Wales. It is a large white breed known for its hardiness in outdoor (extensive) farming, its long, pear-shaped body and its lop-ears. The breed was first mentioned in the 1870s, and after the Howitt committee report in 1955, became the third most common sire in the United Kingdom after the Large White pig and British Landrace pig. The Welsh pig experienced a decline in numbers in the late twentieth century because consumer demands had changed and the carcase was considered too fatty. In 2005 the breed was considered endangered and later came under the auspices of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Since then numbers have expanded somewhat, and by 2012, the registered breeding herd had increased to over 1000 animals.
Cephalopod size
The specimen William Dall speared in 1885 at Iliuliuk had the largest radial span of any giant Pacific octopus ever measured. Jock MacLean's 1956 Port Hardy behemoth was the biggest ever weighed. The Santa Barbara specimen photographed in 1945 was the second heaviest. It would appear that octopuses weighing as much as 272 kg (600 lb) and with radial spans of over nine metres (30 ft) are within the realm of possibility, but have never actually been documented by both measuring and weighing.
Robert Earl Hughes
Robert Earl Hughes (June 4, 1926 – July 10, 1958) was an American man who was, during his lifetime, the heaviest human being recorded in the history of the world.
Aylesford, Nova Scotia
Aylesford's largest tourist attraction, the Oaklawn Farm Zoo, was home to Rutledge, the heaviest living lion in captivity, as certified by Guinness World Records in 1997. Rutledge died in February 2009, three months short of his 18th birthday. The zoo also has a variety of other animals including tigers, dromedary camels, and a variety of monkeys.
The Circus of Horrors
The circus currently holds 20 Guinness World Records, including lifting the greatest weight by the hair, the world’s biggest custard-pie fight and largest human mobile which contained 16 men, including Dr Haze, suspended from a crane 150ft above The River Thames.
Johnny Strange
Strange holds multiple Guinness World Records. In 2013 he gained the nickname ""the man with ears of steel"" after setting the official Guinness World Record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears'. Guinness soon challenged him to attempt 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears', Strange accepted their challenge and at North Weald Airfield he managed to pull a Cessna 172-P aircraft for 67 ft. After setting this new record Strange became the first person to hold both the record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears' and 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears' at the same time.
Some of his records include;
Domestic pig
The domestic pig ("Sus scrofa domesticus" or only "Sus domesticus"), often called swine, hog, or simply pig when there is no need to distinguish it from other pigs, is a domesticated large, even-toed ungulate. It is variously considered a subspecies of the wild boar or a distinct species. The domestic pig's head-plus-body-length ranges from , and adult pigs typically weigh between , with well-fed individuals often exceeding this weight range. The size and weight of a hog largely depends on its breed. Compared to other artiodactyls, its head is relatively long, pointed, and free of warts. Even-toed ungulates are generally herbivorous, but the domestic pig is an omnivore, like its wild relative.
List of pigs
In March 1901, an article appeared in the Rushville, Illinois newspaper, the Rushville Times, telling of the slaughter of a 1,255 pound hog. This article was later printed in the Schuyler County, Illinois historical newsletter The Schuylerite 14:1 (Spring 1985): 
"Curly Boy Slaughtered
The above caption may appear misleading and cause the TIMES readers to think there has been a slaughter of a tow-headed boy, but it was meant to tell of the death of Samuel A. Stephen's big hog in Chicago. Mr. Stephens shipped the 1,255 pound porker from here last week and he reached Chicago safely. All along the way, whenever the train stopped, there gathered a crowd of persons to see the hog. At the Union Stock Yards in Chicago he attracted not a little attention and drew a crowd like a monkey show in the country. At the packing house where he was killed, the foreman ordered the butchers to hang him up on cattle chains, as the regular hog chains were not made for such as he. His skin was carefully removed and was turned over to a taxidermist, who will cure it and mount the animal in a life size position."
American black bear
The biggest wild American black bear ever recorded was a male from New Brunswick, shot in November 1972, that weighed after it had been dressed, meaning it weighed an estimated in life and measured long. Another notably outsized wild American black bear, weighing in at in total, was the cattle-killer shot in December 1921 on the Moqui Reservation in Arizona. The record-sized American black bear from New Jersey was shot in Morris County December 2011 and scaled . Even larger, the most massive American black bear recorded in Pennsylvania (one of six weighing over shot in the last 15 years in the state) weighed in at and was shot in November 2010 in Pike County. The North American Bear Center, located in Ely, Minnesota, is home to the world's largest captive male and female American black bears. Ted, the male, weighed in the fall of 2006. Honey, the female, weighed in the fall of 2007.
Packy (elephant)
Packy (April 14, 1962 – February 9, 2017) was an Asian elephant at the Oregon Zoo (Portland Zoological Gardens at the time of his birth) in Portland, Oregon, United States. He was famous for having been the first elephant born in the Western Hemisphere in 44 years. At the time of his death, he was the oldest male Asian elephant in North America. With a shoulder height of and overall height of more than when standing up straight, Packy was also one of the tallest elephants in the United States and perhaps one of the tallest worldwide.
Craven
In 1818 the Craven Heifer, bred for meat on the Bolton Abbey estate remains to this day the largest and fattest cow of her age ever shown in England, weighing .
Anna Haining Bates
While touring in the summer of 1878, Anna was pregnant for the second time. The baby was born on January 18, 1879, and survived only 11 hours. He was the largest newborn ever recorded, at 23 pounds 9 ounces (10.7 kg) and nearly 30 inches tall (ca. 75 cm) and each of his feet were six inches (152 mm) long. For this she was posthumously awarded a Guinness World Record. The Bateses resumed touring with the W.W. Cole Circus in the summer of 1879, and again in the spring of 1880. Bates spent her remaining years quietly on the farm that she and her husband owned. She had joined the local Baptist Church in 1877 and attended services with her husband.

Tim Mathison is the current record holder. On October 11, 2013, at Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park, Morgan Hill, CA, Mathison brought in the world's record-breaking pumpkin, which weigh over brought his now world record pumpkin, which weighed 2032 lbs. He announced his secret that he grew his pumpkin from the seeds of 2009 Wallace seed crossed with the 1554 Mathison. Large pumpkins genetic is his secret to growing giant pumpkin.
Transportation of animals
The largest animal ever transported was J.J., a young grey whale who weighed and was long. She was fitted into a custom-made transport sling and lifted by crane onto a 40-foot foam-padded trailer, before being released, again by crane, just off Point Loma. FedEx has shipped at least seven whales to aquariums in slings inside of metal containers containing just enough water to keep the whales moist.
Ralph (rabbit)
Ralph was a nearly Continental Giant rabbit from Sussex considered the world's heaviest rabbit by Guinness World Records in 2013.
Bighorn sheep
The bighorn sheep ("Ovis canadensis") is a species of sheep native to North America named for its large horns. A pair of horns might weigh up to ; the sheep weigh up to . Recent genetic testing indicates three distinct subspecies of "Ovis canadensis", one of which is endangered: "O. c. sierrae". Sheep originally crossed to North America over the Bering land bridge from Siberia; the population in North America peaked in the millions, and the bighorn sheep entered into the mythology of Native Americans. By 1900, the population had crashed to several thousand, due to diseases introduced through European livestock and overhunting.
GE AC6000CW
On June 21, 2001, all eight of the Australian railroad BHP Billiton's GE AC6000s combined to set the world record for the heaviest and longest train. They hauled and 682 wagons for between Yandi mine and Port Hedland. The train was long and carried of iron ore. The record still stands.
More Crap
Randy is suffering from severe constipation and has been unable to defecate for more than three weeks. After taking a laxative, Randy produces an abnormally large piece of excrement during an extremely painful bowel movement. Believing he has passed the world's biggest stool, he reaches out to the "European Fecal Standards and Measurements" office, headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. The institute concludes he has the world record, weighing in at 8.6 courics – a fictional measurement unit (approximately 2.5 pounds) named after journalist Katie Couric. As Randy is the first American to ever receive the award, the American government holds a ceremony to honor his achievement. However, it is interrupted by a video of Bono, the previous record holder, claiming he has just taken a crap weighing 9.5 courics, and is therefore still the record holder. His claim is accepted, despite protests that his only proof is an unverified photo.
Hummus
In May 2010, the Guinness World Record for the largest dish of hummus in the world returned to Lebanon. The winning dish, cooked by 300 cooks in the village of al-Fanar, near Beirut, weighed approximately , more than double the weight of the previous record. According to local media, the recipe included eight tons of boiled chick peas, two tonnes of tahini, two tonnes of lemon juice, and of olive oil.
Mandrill
The mandrill is one of the most sexually dimorphic mammals due to extremely strong sexual selection which favors males in both size and coloration. Males typically weigh , with an average mass of . Females weigh roughly half as much as the male, at and an average of . Exceptionally large males can weigh up to , with unconfirmed reports of outsized mandrills weighing per the Guinness Book of World Records. The mandrill is the heaviest living monkey, somewhat surpassing even the largest baboons such as chacma baboon and olive baboons in average weight even considering its more extreme sexual dimorphism, but the mandrill averages both shorter in the length and height at the shoulder than these species. The average male is long and the female is , with the short tail adding another . The shoulder height while on all fours can range from in females and in males. Compared to the largest baboons, the mandrill is more ape-like in structure, with a muscular and compact build, shorter, thicker limbs that are longer in the front and almost no tail. Mandrills can live up to 31 years in captivity. Females reach sexual maturity at about 3.5 years.
Chianina
The Chianina is both the tallest and the heaviest breed of cattle. Mature bulls stand up to , and oxen may reach . It is not unusual for bulls to exceed in weight. Males standing over at 12 months are considered top-grade. A Chianina bull named Donetto holds the world record for the heaviest bull, reported by one source as when exhibited at the Arezzo show in 1955, but as and tall at the age of 8 by others including the Tenuta La Fratta, near Sinalunga in the province of Siena, where he was bred. Cows usually weigh , but commonly exceed ; those standing over are judged top-grade. Calves routinely weigh over at birth.
The coat of the Chianina is white; very slight grey shading round the eyes and on the foreparts is tolerated. The skin, muzzle, switch, hooves and the tips of the horns are black, as are the natural openings – the anus, vulva, eyelids, palate, tongue, and lower part of the scrotum.
Monster Pig
The story, as told by the Stones to the news media, was that on May 3, 2007 11-year-old Jamison Stone was hunting a huge feral hog with his father Mike Stone along with Keith O'Neal and Charles Williams, owners of Southeastern Trophy Hunters, on a farm outside of Ashton, Alabama. Jamison told the media they were invited there by a "friend" who told them about a "big hog he had that was tearing up land". The Stones and the other hunters tracked/chased the hog through the woods and over 3 hours and Jamison Stone fired 16 shots with a .50- caliber Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver equipped with red dot sight shooting 350-grain Hornady cartridges, hitting it 9 times before he killed it with a head shot. They hauled the pig by truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville where they used a scale, finding out it weighed . The hunters also claimed that the pig was in length from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. However, this has not been corroborated by any source.
Sampson (horse)
Sampson was a Shire horse gelding foaled in 1846 in Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, England. He was the tallest and heaviest horse ever recorded.
Duff Goldman
Goldman also officially entered the Guinness Book of World Records for baking the world's largest cupcake on March 30, 2008. The massive entirely edible cupcake weighed in at 61.4 pounds (27.9 kg) and was over a foot (305mm) tall. It was reportedly 150 times the size of a regular cupcake and required 16 pounds (7.2 kg) of butter, 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of sugar, and three ounces (85g) of food coloring. The record-breaking pastry was created to support the Great American Bake Sale, which raised $10,000 and awareness for the Share Our Strength charity. However, as reported in a 2009 episode of "Ace of Cakes", Goldman was stripped of the record due to the cupcake having been made in two parts.
Derek Boyer
Boyer currently holds the Guinness World Record for heaviest truck pulled, after he pulled a Kenworth K104 truck weighing 51,840 kg (114,287 lb - 51.84 metric tons) over a level 100 ft (30.48 m) course in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on 6 March 2005. He captured his 11th straight Australia's Strongest Man title on 5 June 2010.
Serpent Safari
A female Burmese Python named "Baby" that lived 27 years at the Serpent Safari was confirmed by Guinness World Records as the heaviest living snake in captivity, weighing . After death, her actual length was determined to be 5.74 m (18 ft 10 in) which is the maximum length record for this species so far.
Zorba (dog)
Zorba initially set the record of heaviest dog in September 1987 at .
Temeraire (series)
Dragons in this category are enormous, although size varies greatly between heavyweights of different breeds (20–50 ton weight range). The largest British heavyweight, the Regal Copper, weighs a maximum of 50 tons, can be up to long and have a wingspan of . There are also unidentified breeds of dragons and cross-breeds known to be even larger, such that their size can only be described as "immense". A typical middling heavyweight Chinese Celestial/Imperials and the French "Chanson-de-Guerre", both of which weigh in around 20-25
 tons at a minimum. The Turkish Kazilik is the only known fire-breathing heavyweight. Heavyweight eggs are extremely valuable, often said to be more valuable than gold per pound (a Regal Copper egg is said to be worth 56,000 pounds, an enormous amount of money in the early 19th century). Kazilik eggs command incredible value, with the British paying the Ottoman Empire half a million pounds for three eggs (most of which was allocated for the Kazilik). Typically heavyweights are the most long-lived of all dragons, some are known to live for hundreds of years, but by contrast, they take much longer to recover from illness or disease than middle or lightweights.
Balaji (leopard)
Balaji, an Indian leopard housed in the Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park, located at the foot of the holy seven hills in Tirupathi, was one of the largest leopards to be ever recorded. The leopard weighed 139 kg against the normal weight of 70 kg of its class. Balaji was born in 1994 and captured in 1996, when he weighed 108 kg. He ate 4 kg of beef daily, the same as the zoo's other leopards. The Park management is said to be in touch with the Guinness Book of World Records authorities seeking its entry in the records as the biggest leopard. He died on June 11, 2013.
Chris (sheep)
Local shearer Ian Elkins volunteered to shear the massive sheep, after being contacted by RSPCA Australia. Chris had to be sedated throughout the operation; during which, after about 42 minutes, the shearer had removed up to 40.45 kilograms or 89 pounds of thick wool. It was reported that leaving the wool unsheared would have put the sheep at great risk for infection and/or injury. This is currently a world record, beating previous records held by neglected sheep such as Shrek (27 kg) and "Big Ben". The record was noted by Guinness World Records.
Big Bertha (cow)
Big Bertha (17 March 1945 – 31 December 1993) was a cow who held two Guinness World Records: she was the oldest cow recorded, dying just three months short of her 49th birthday, and she also held the record for lifetime breeding, having produced 39 calves. During her lifetime she helped raise $75,000 for cancer research and other charities.
1068 Wallace
1068 Wallace (845 Bobier x 898 Knauss) was an Atlantic Giant pumpkin grown by Ron Wallace in Rhode Island, United States during 2003. The fruit's progeny includes dozens of other pumpkins over 1,000 pounds, including the 1502 Wallace in 2006, at the time the heaviest pumpkin in the world. Its seeds have been described as the most sought-after of their kind, and have sold for $850 apiece at auction.
