Bingwa, the 4-year old St. Louis Zoo cheetah, has more than just lived up to her name. "Bingwa" in Swahili means "champion" and what a more than fit name for the new mother of 8 cubs! What makes this so amazing is that, this is the first time a cheetah has given birth to eight adorable cubs at a zoo! Quite the accomplishment! (The average litter size is three to four cubs)

On Thursday, Guinness World Records released the 63rd edition of its famous book of feats and firsts. Among the new honorees is Cygnus who is officially the domestic cat with the longest tail, carrying around a feather duster-like appendage that measures 17.58 inches. Cygnus lives with two other cats, Arcturus and Sirius, an F2 Savannah and a Marble bengal, and his dad says they love each other. That's one impressive feline.
Sure, it's not 101, but it's still a lot. Get ready to seeing spots everywhere.
Sorry Corduroy, you've been dethroned by a Siamese kitty from Texas. Believe it or not, Scooter is 30 years young and still kickin'. You can find out more about him over on the Guinness World Records website.
