Worlds longest tail

A Paint horse in the United States has been confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the longest horse's tail, at 12.5 feet (that is 381 cm). The official length of JJS Summer Breeze's tail was noted in January by Guinness.

Owner Crystal Socha combs out and shampoos Summer's tail once every two months, and the operation takes three hours. Each hair strand has the consistency of fishing line.

"I don't think I've ever gotten every knot out of that tail. It takes a lot longer in the summer when she's flicking at flies. When it's out and it's flowing, then I know why it's worth it," said Crystal.

World’s smallest lizard

The world's smallest lizard has been discovered on a tiny Caribbean island off the coast of the Dominican Republic. The newly discovered species not only ranks as the smallest lizard, but it also is the smallest of all 23,000 species of reptiles, birds, and mammals.

So small it can curl up on a dime or stretch out on a quarter, a typical adult of the species, whose scientific name is "Sphaerodactylus ariasae," is only about 16 millimeters long, or about three quarters of an inch, from the tip of the snout to the base of the tail. It shares the title of "smallest" with another lizard species named Sphaerodactylus parthenopion, discovered in 1965 in the British Virgin Islands. Hedges and Thomas discovered small groups of the new species living in a sink hole and a cave in a partially destroyed forest on the remote island of Beata, which is part of the Jaragua National Park in the Dominican Republic.
