Why Do Goat's Freeze? | ExperiMental | Curious?: Science and Engineering

Ever wondered why goats faint when they get scared? The goat’s muscles seize up when they become frightened and they drop like flies! Have you ever seen a goat freeze before?
ExperiMental - From Season 1 Episode 1: We demonstrate why toast falls butter side down and we also look at why needles are about to get longer and blame it on our fat behinds!
We also test the 5-second rule and we also figure out how far you have to fling a Scotsman before everything is revealed. We also show you which part of the male brain can’t stop thinking about what’s below the belt. And last but by no means least, we take to the skies and we also discover a one-person helicopter that could be the answer to busy rush hours
ExperiMental travels the world in search of the craziest experiments ever performed and challenges the scientists responsible to repeat their bizarre experiments in front of the cameras.
In each episode, we recreate these wacky experiments. They might seem silly but believe it or not many of them have played an important role in genuine scientific research and some of them have ultimately led to surprising scientific breakthroughs or real-world applications. But it's not just the science of today we’ll be turning our beady eye upon - we’ll also be running our own Test Department answering important questions like “why does toast always fall butter side up?” or “can you play the bagpipes using helium rather than air?”.
Amusing, irreverent and always entertaining, ExperiMental tackles every imaginable branch of science in a populist way. Its hard science made fun through oddball experiments.

Have you ever seen a goat freeze before?

[@user-rg9dv7ir9z]

Very interesting! I've NEVER heard of this before. Thanks for educating me on them. Poor wee babies. The first Scientist was most helpful by explaining this phenomenom ! Just a pity about his OBVIOUS Rug on his head!

Haven’t seen it in person. Always wondered about it though… such an obvious answer that never occurred to me.

I need to stop the video at 2:37 minutes and insert here, where he is talking about "survival of the fittest" with a herd of fast and slow deer as an example. Yes, the slow ones would likely be caught, BUT with knowledge of the behavior of predators, who have a strong drive to chase the prey (which is WHY, when facing a predator, people are told to NOT RUN), the fast ones might "catch the eye" of the predator and "kick on" that strong instinct to CHASE those who RUN. (Now, I will turn it back on to hear his theory.) After hearing the "Rest of the story," I will insert another reason for breeding the "fainting goats." Some people might be buying them JUST for the NOVELTY of having a goat that FAINTS.
