    The longest I can find is the Sperm Whale which has intestines about 288m in length.

    3 times around the Earth is 120,000km, that's just plain ridiculous for intestines. Sorry. Think how long it would take for the food to go through it!

    That is unless the question is one of the Collective digestive system of the coral polyps that make up the great barrier reef... this might be the answer.

    I think elephants and whales have more or less the equal ones.
