Hadi KhalilLukas, a 17-year-old thoroughbred gelding in Chino Hills, Calif., has just been accepted into Guinness World Records for "Most Numbers Correctly Identified by a Horse in One Minute." For the record, Lukas did 19.

The horse in question is Lukas, who is touted as the smartest horse in the world for the many amazing feats he's been able to master: 35 in all.

According to Karen Murdock, Lukas' owner and trainer, he is able to count and discern different shapes, spell his name and recognize the difference between objects that are the same and those that are different, those that are bigger or smaller than others and a concept called "absentness."

"Lukas knows when something is missing, and that is a skill that was previously only detected in primates and parrots," Murdock said.
