Tommy, the world’s tallest ox, a huge pack of Care Bears and a woman who completed 13 standing horseback jumps in just 30 seconds are among the 2024 Guinness World Records winners.


Tommy, the world’s tallest ox, a huge collection of Care Bears memorabilia and a woman who did thirteen standing jumps on horseback in 30 seconds are among those to land a Guinness World Record gong for 2024.

A total of 2,638 documents appear in the latest edition of the book, which features more than 80 percent of the new and updated documents.

These include 13-year-old Tommy the Ox from Massachusetts, who stands 6 feet 1 inch tall.

The owner of the giant purebred Brown Swiss, Fred, described him as a “gentle giant” and is strictly a pet. It gulps down an incredible 30 pounds of dry grain and 70 pounds of hay, the combined equivalent of the weight of a baby hippopotamus, while it gulps down between 30 and 40 gallons of water each day.

The gigantic beef has been amassing a following on TikTok since the pandemic and it was one of his followers who tipped him off as potentially being the biggest in the world.
