Record: Longest ear hair

Radhakant Bajpai of Naya Ganj, Uttar Pradesh, India, has hair sprouting from the centre of his outer ears (middle of the pinna) that measures an incredible 13.2 cm (5.19 in) at its longest point. The length of the 50-year-old's pinna pelt was confirmed by medical examiner Dr. R P Gupta.

"Making it to Guinness World Records is indeed a special occasion for me and my family," said Radhakant. "God has been very kind to me."

The man in the picture is B.D. Tyagi from Bhopal, India, whose ear hair is just 10.2cm long. He's one of the former record holders. He was beaten by Antony Victor, whose aer hair measures 11.5 cm. It seems Radhakant Bajpai has to hang on tight to his hairy record.
