Lurch an African Watusi bull has become an international celebrity in his short life of 8 years.Lurch a record holder for a rather strange reason.He had Horns with a circumference of 95.25 cm and was adopted by Janice wolf when he was just 5 weeks old.Lurch was born on October 11,1995 on a Watusi ranch in Missouri.At the age of two years itself his horns were growing at an alarming rate unlike the normal watusi bulls.By the age of three years he had the largest known horn circumference ever.His owners Janice wolf were pretty convinced about the enormity of Lurch's Horns that they applied for a official record recognition so that world comes to know of this unusually rare stuff.
Each of the massive horns weighs 100 pounds and this was rather showcased on Animal planet.Lurch's inclusion in record books for his amazing sized horns saw him attracting visitors from far and wide ranging from Vietnam,Sweden,Japan,Australia as well as 50 other United States at his Rocky Ridge Refuge in Gassville,Arkanas,United States of America.
As wisely said by someone sudden fame is short lived.Lurch who shot to fame for his horns sadly succumbed to cancer formed at the base of one of the horns on May 22,2010.
