Fainting goats have developed the most stupid evolutionary trait imaginable. This is the sort of animal that creationists will point to to demonstrate that Darwinism is a load of cobblers.
“Oh, what’s that? A lion? I think I’ll have a lie down.”
The video under the link explains it all, but basically, due to a genetic condition (myotonia congenita) the goats legs stiffen when they’re suprised or over-excited. Often leading to them falling over. Apparently shepherds used to include them in herds with their sheep as wolf fodder. Now they’re being bred for novelty value. Poor goats.

Hehe those goats are silly.
Awwww, poor little goats. The young ones are so cute, but they also tend to fall over more. Adults can sometimes hobble on stiff legs at least.
Ha, I saw this on one of those animal shows. There’s this farm where they raise these types of beasts; tourists come and watch the owners scare the dickens out of them. Nice huh?!
Silly Goaties!
