Tommy, an ox living in Massachusetts, has become a TikTok sensation, garnering millions of views and with a reason: he’s absolutely gigantic.
The video below was captured by Laurie Balawender Cuevas, the owner’s daughter, and shows 12-year-old Tommy, who weighs an estimated 3,000 pounds (1360 kilograms), cared for by her 78-year-old father, who is dwarfed in comparison.
Cuevas told Storyful that Tommy is a purebred Brown Swiss ox, and that the family have had him since he was just two days old.
“He is over 6ft at his shoulder and his hip. His only job is to keep my 78-year-old dad young and happy and he takes his job quite seriously,” Cuevas said.
She described Tommy as “a special member of the family” who is “kind and compassionate.”
