lol, fainting goats

brill

 

I want one!
They are cute ... funny too.

 

God damn it, Orn! You are the only person here who can make me fall of my chair without touching me!

 

that's bizarre!! what would they do if a predator chased them? die very quickly?

 

I dont think I worded that right. Must be the booze.

 

thanks JJ -


they are really cute and i want one . scare it everyday and laugh at it fall on teh fall. i agree it's a terrible defence mechanism, but it's hilarious

I just read this on a site:

"As strange as this may sound, these little critters have actually served an historical purpose. Shepherds often kept the goats in with their flocks as insurance in case of predator attacks. The theory went something like this- as wolves would come down from the hills to attack a flock of sheep, the goats would become startled and, as per the name of their breed, they would faint. The sheep would make a clean getaway, as the wolves would focus on the stunned goats rather than pursue the fleeing sheep. Not that wonderful if you were one of the goats, sure, but downright dandy if you happened to be a sheep."

 

The look just like me when I go to Forbidden Planet and ask the price of some of the items....
