World's Longest

I actually came across these record breaking World's Longest animals last month with the launch of the Guinness Book of World Records 2009 but I somehow never got around to posting about these stories on my blog but as a blogger juggling multiple blogs, I beleive that it's better late than never.

The longest rabbit in the world was measured at 81.5cm in Britain this year. The humongous hopper, Amy, is the pet of Annette Edwards and belongs to the Flemish giant breed, which is known to weigh up to 8kg.

This Irish Wolfhound named Mon Ami von der Oelmuhle, has a nose-to-tail-tip length of 232cm (91.3in). That makes him roughly the length of a double bed. Bred by German Jurgen Rosner, Mon Ami is owned by Joachim and Elke Muller of Wegberg-Arsbeck, near Dusseldorf, Germany.
