The record holders among wild animals are the white rhinos and the moose. Rhinoceroses have two horns, one of which can reach up to 1.5 meters in length. Unlike other animals, the horn is made from keratin, the same composition as our nails and hair. Moose, on the other hand, have bony cup-shaped horns, which can reach 1.6 meters in length. But the biggest horn in the world is not a wild species but a domestic animal. Watusi oxen can have horns that are 2.8 meters long and each can weigh up to 45 kilos.
