A beloved Texas longhorn named Poncho Via has broken the Guinness World Record for its nearly 11-foot horns—more than twice the width of a concert grand piano.
From tip to tip, Poncho's horns measure in at 10 feet and 7.4 inches, which is more than twice the width of a concert grand piano, according to Guinness.
"They stood out like anything on the crest of that mountain -- it was the prettiest thing," Pope Sr. said."I told my wife, we got to have one of them."Poncho's horns are 10 ft. 7.4 in from tip to tip which is wider than the Statue of Liberty's face and twice the width of a concert grand piano 😮🐃 https://t.co/SnsZTUmKTx pic.twitter.com/stBaZdt4bY
No two longhorns have the same variation in their horn development, said Jeral"Dennis" Pope Jr. Poncho's horns go straight out before curling at the end, making for an"impressive" tip-to-tip length, he said.
