Rescue donkey in Georgia breaks world record with her long ears

Hope's ears measured nearly 16 inches, surpassing the previous UK record of 14 inches, after rescue and veterinary care revealed her unique feature.

  • Last week, Hannah Frost received official confirmation that Hope, a rescue donkey in Georgia, was named by Guinness World Records for longest ears.
  • Hannah Frost rescued Hope from Arkansas after the donkey arrived extremely underweight with visible ribs and unable to eat due to overgrown teeth, prompting veterinary care.
  • A veterinarian measured Hope's ears and found them nearly 16 inches long after four trials, surpassing the previous record holder in the United Kingdom and earning Guinness World Records recognition.
  • The Guinness recognition has spotlighted Hope's recovery and Frost said she hopes sharing it will change perceptions of donkeys as 'it's a real good ending to a good story,' Frost said.
  • Many people think donkeys are stubborn, but Hannah Frost said they are gentle, kind and `almost Velcro`, comparing bonding with donkeys to German Shepherds.
