An animal sanctuary near Nottinghamshire is home to an enormous donkey which is set to become the biggest in the world.
The huge young animal called Derrick is a staggering 16.3 hands (5ft 7ins) tall -
and is still growing.
Whopping Derrick is an American Mammoth Jackstock - the largest breed in the world.
The current record is held by Romulus in the Texas, USA, who measures 17 hands - (5ft 8ins).
Derrick is now just an inch short but his owners say he will easily become a world record holder for biggest donkey.
The donkey lives at Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary, Lincolnshire, which is about half an hour away from Skegness, where many Nottinghamshire families are spending their long Easter weekend.
Sanctuary owner Tracy Garton said: "He was always big. He was big when he was born.
"He hasn't finished growing yet. They stop growing when they reach seven years old so he still has a lot of time."
The 52-year-old said despite his size, Derrick is a gentle giant.
"Derrick is very friendly," she said. "He's just like a big dog, follows you around all the time and wants to be by your side."
When Derrick stops growing, the sanctuary will call Guinness World Records.
Romulus has held the title since 2013, but is set to lose the crown once Derrick finishes growing.
Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary opened in 1992, it has 59 animals including donkeys, mules, horses, zeedonks and a zonky.
