Record Breakers Beginning With R
• Rubia – the mountain climber
In 2004, this two year old Spanish Golden Retriever made the headlines. She climbed the highest mountain in the Americas, the Aconcagua in Argentina. It’s 22,831 feet (6,959 meters) high. That’s a world record! Of course, Rubia didn’t climb the mountain alone. Her master and another two-legged friend were at her side.
The expedition to the summit was a study on the effects of great heights on dogs. After all, animals also need more energy to move at high altitudes as the air contains less oxygen. Apart from birds and insects, there are only a few mammals that live this high, like the yak, snow leopard, Tibetan gazelle and deer mouse.
• Rose – seven frisbees in one go
Rose, a six year old Labrador Collie cross made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010. She caught seven frisbees, thrown one after another, with her mouth. And she did all that without letting one fall on the ground. Her owner Edward Watsons (USA) noticed that she didn’t like to give frisbees back after she’d caught them. So he discovered her unusual talent.
• Rico – knows 77 words
Border Collie Rico was an animal star on the German TV show “Wetten, dass...?”. He proved that he could match 77 words with the right toys. And he didn’t stop at 77 words, he actually went on to master more than 250 words. Scientists were impressed and have since proved that he uses a trick called “fast mapping”. You just need to have heard a word once in connection with a certain object or situation. Until Rico, it was presumed that only humans could do this. The absolute record is held by Border Collie Chaser. He could remember an impressive 1,022 words as he learned one or two new words every day over three years.
