The World’s Tallest Donkey: When it comes to determining the tallest donkey in the world, the answer may surprise you. While we’re not suggesting that Romulus or Remus are the world’s tallest, they may be the tallest among donkeys. Romulus and Remus measured 17 hands.

According to Leah Patton, the manager of the American Donkey and Mule Society, Romulus is taller than Oklahoma Sam, the current record holder. She claims the donkey was certified by Guinness and six witnesses.

According to the Guinness World Records, Romulus is the tallest living donkey. He is more than two and a half times taller than KneeHi, the world’s shortest donkey, belongs to Phil and Carrie Barker Yellott of Adrian, Michigan. He is an American Mammoth Jackstock gelding.

Romulus is 17 years old and stands five feet, eight inches at the shoulder. He weighs around 1,300 pounds. He is named after two of Rome’s founders, Romulus and Remus. Remus is only 16 inches shorter than Romulus.

According to the American Donkey and Mule Society (which is a precursor to the Guinness Book of World Records), Romulus is taller than Oklahoma Sam. Although his height is not as impressive as that of the shortest donkey, he is still tall enough to win the title.

A Texas donkey named Romulus has been topped the World’s Tallest Donkey. He stands 17 hands from the hooves to his withers and weighs more than a thousand pounds. This mammoth donkey lives with his brother Remus on a farm. Together, the pair guard the farm’s livestock.

The donkeys are taller than people and bear the names of the founding fathers of the ancient city of Rome. Both are mammoth jackstock donkeys from America. Both suffer from separation anxiety and have a strong attachment to their owners.

They are renowned for having the potential to bray, which has a fog horn-like sound.
