Interesting Critters - Goats that FAINT!

While having a friendly chat with a blogger friend about animals, I happened to mention Fainting Goats. She had never heard of them, and so I thought I would post this video so anyone who has never seen them before might be able to watch and learn about them from this short video. Enjoy!

That was me and I had never heard of it. My grandson, daughter and I just watched this. We laughed and giggled! They are so cute and funny.

How do you know all this? Guess I do lead a sheltered life.

They look like they're having a petit mal seizure!
Poor ol' things. Wonder if it shortens their life in any way? It's the darndest thing to see!

It's from a genetic mutation that gets passed along. I feel bad for them, it's mainly the little ones that fall...

You just made me laugh out loud! And the kids too! lol

I would be afraid to have them as I would be afraid that other critters would attack them!

Hugs,

I have seen these goats before. Amazing isn't it. Just shows you what a genetic mutation can do. I think it's kind of sad.
I'm Glad I have big healthy Nubians.
