The Tennessee fainting goat breed has a hereditary condition called myotonia congenita, a disorder that affects the skeletal muscles, which are used for movement. When the muscles are voluntarily contracted, such as in the act of running away from a potential threat, the relaxation of the muscle can be delayed.

The convenience of freezing up when you need to run…

u/getyourrealfakedoors Jun 09 '23

Could argue that a predator might be dissuaded by such unnatural/unhealthy-looking behavior

u/Naiphe Jun 09 '23

Or just excited for a free lunch!

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

Yep. A blood thirsty predator isn’t going to stop because an animal falls,that I’m sure of

7

u/197708156EQUJ5 Jun 09 '23

That you would be wrong. Many animals in the animal kingdom can detect when an animal is too unhealthy to eat and this is the defense mechanism employed by the species

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

Unhealthy is different from falling over mid run. But I’m open to be proved wrong with some studies where they do not get eaten after they fall.

14

u/GASPARTAN82 Jun 09 '23

Lots of places that raise livestock will keep fainting goats in with the more valuable animals so the predators eat the goats instead of the valuable animal.. Hope that adds a little clarity! Lol

15

u/tnorc Jun 09 '23

Yea its convenient for reproduction. Humans that notice that the goats that freeze up are easier to slaughter, and therefore they breed them more.

u/MeFolly Jun 09 '23

How wrong is it that, while I understand that these goats have a life altering condition, I alway find it funny?

10

u/666afternoon Jun 09 '23

oh don't worry, they're all over the internet because everyone finds them hilarious 😂 and as far as I know, this condition doesn't do them any harm or stress, it's just goofy looking

9

u/Jonthrei Jun 09 '23

I mean they have essentially zero chance of surviving on their own...

3

u/666afternoon Jun 09 '23

right, which is probably why the only time we see this sort of mutation is in captivity! in the wild, these poor suckers would 100% be fresh meat

5

u/badgeredbunyip Jun 09 '23

Huh, I had no idea these were from Tennessee.

Anecdotal but we had a few of these growing up, two of the three died while/after fainting, wound up selling the third.

Also eff goats just in general. We had ~100 and my summers were filled with jumping electric fences and goathouses to get away from the prickly fuckers when I just needed to feed then.

u/Psycho_Mantis_2506 Jun 09 '23

So, the men who stare at goats weren't in the UPS truck? /s

I sometimes wish someone would crossbreed fainting goats and screaming goats for a maximum drama goat.

I've read the phrase "threw their head back and laughed", but today I experienced it.

How is their species still alive when they faint from a potential threat? This is an honest question. I’m curious.

They aren't exactly wild animals anymore. Their existence depends on us.
