美国田纳西州的雌性夏尔马“蒂娜”堪称世界上最高大的马,从马蹄至马肩隆(马肩骨间隆起部位)的高度是205.7厘米,体重726公斤,甚至比身高201.9厘米的2006年吉尼斯纪录保持者“雷达”还要高大。 csuchen.de6 B9 d& h/ t$ j) P# j

从一出生,“蒂娜”就跟树苗一样不断长高,很快就超越牧场里所有的动物。有趣的是,它虽然长得牛高马大,脾气却温顺乖巧得像个“小女生”。它的女主人威廉姆斯太太称:“它可招人喜欢了,性格也温和。当它站立的时候,我可以爬到它的身下干活,一点也不会感到害怕。我可以骑到它的背上,不过必须先踩到一个篱笆上才可以够着它。”

据男主人吉姆•威廉姆斯介绍,“蒂娜”现在年仅3岁,这个年纪在马里面属于青少年时期。吉姆说:“它的背部正在开始生长肌肉,未来至少两年时间内,它还将继续长高,有望一直长到213厘米。”

“蒂娜”不仅身材高大,食量也相当惊人。据悉,它一天可以吃掉18公斤的干草,10公斤的谷物以及113公升的水。不过,在所有食物当中它最喜欢的还是胡萝卜。“蒂娜”726公斤的巨无霸体重也让驯养师杰米•巴尼特吃足苦头。主人原本希望能吃又能喝的“蒂娜”可以帮忙拉马车,没想到这个如意算盘却被它“高人一等”的身高打乱了。杰米说,“我不认为有人会去做一个特大号的马车,让这么大个子的马去拉。”

威廉姆斯夫妇同时在自家牧场开设了一个“春溪旅舍”。夫妇俩将在自家旅舍专门为“蒂娜”举行一个隆重的“量身高”仪式。届时夫妇俩将邀请4名公证人和一名兽医到场,并将测量报告连同当天的报纸报道呈送给位于伦敦的吉尼斯总部,正式申报新的世界纪录。威廉姆斯夫妇希望,随着“蒂娜”申报吉尼斯纪录成功,“春溪旅舍”也将从此誉满全球。(来源:现代快报)

NIOTA, Tenn. -- At only 3 years old, an English shire horse named Tina still has some room to grow. But the draft horse is already so big, her Tennessee owners are hoping she can break records. Officially named Jenson Diplomat Tina, she is still a teenager in horse years, said owner Jim Williams.
