Facts about Fainting Goats
Canada,America,England,USA,UK,United Kingdom Country,New Zealand,Canada Country,America country,North America,Australia
Myotonic Goats, which are also known as Fainting Goats, Stiff-leg Goats, Wooden-leg Goats, Nervous Goats and Tennessee Meat Goats are basically goats that faint when they are startled or excited. Fainting Goats are a bit smaller than normal goats, they are called fainting goats because of a genetic condition called myotonia congenita, which causes the muscles in their legs to cease up for about ten seconds which results in the goat collapsing. They can get excited easily… just something like bringing them food could make them fall over! Don’t worry PETA; this doesn’t hurt the goats at all.
Even though a name for them is a fainting goat doesn’t mean they actually faint, they don’t loose consciousness when they fall. The older myoyonic goats learn to keep upright once startled, therefore not looking quite as silly as the baby goats.
