Self defense mechanism: become a lawn ornament... EXCELLENT!!
@Samar3n its funny af, all goats do it
its 5 am...and im watching videos of goats faint.
+. I am getting there, its 3
+. omg i'm watching it at 6am!
Gosh watching this at 5am too. This is creepy now
me too, it's 3.53 am and im watching fainting goats...wtf
2 for me
The Brazilian football team took notes watching this.
You're talking about Neymar, right?
@@galegopaulista4564 Could be. I don't really remember the intent behind a joke I made 2 years ago XD

Imagine them in the wild,
"Holy shit, here comes a cougar, RUN !"
"..........Shit !"
i think they made that on purpose to save the sheep.

For those asking "what if this happened to humans?", it does. Approximately 1 in 40,000 of them. It's a rare neuromuscular disorder called Hyperekplexia (also known as startle syndrome). My son has it and it is not at all funny. It is also caused by a genetic mutation. Not sure what started it in the goats, but it fits the same description as what humans have.
I have the disease too! It's actually 1 in 1,000,00 which is what my doctor said and 1 in 10,000 in Finland
Gosh, never heard of it, must be so debilitating as you can't go anywhere alone, drive, use machinery! Really sad!
Lol..... I’m sorry but I had to laugh
Ooo thts sad. May he get better soon.
Indeed
its 4 in the morning, i need to sleep
Is that suppose to be a defense mechanism? Because I don't think that's a good way to defend themselves...
What the fuck?. 0_0
These Goats prove themselves to be an easy prey.
Don't faint in front of a tiger!.
Morph Verse we don't have tigers in North America.
Awwww so cute! Poor things! I would love to raise some of them on a farm one day :D
These little guys are hilarious and adorable. I want one!
Aww that was so cute
Dammit AVGN, why have you forsaken me?
WOW he didn't even tell it to roll over! I want a pet like that!
Goat Tazer
hello there 2011 comment.
the video response, "Dream by Mark Miley" is GOOOOOD!!!
this is awesome :D
Lol it's kind of cute
major evolutionary flaw... did we cause this during domestication. i assume they would have been extinct long before domestication if this is not caused by us.
Yeah, not all goats have this though.
People didnor domesticated dodo birds and now they are extinct and if humans didnt use tigers as a pet they should be already extinct.
Plain Bison here in North America should already be extinct if humans didnt get involved in their low population
This video is my fav on CZcams it makes my day every time click play !!! ;)
Some of the mutations are recessive and some are dominant. The mutations don't usually die out because the recessive mutations are just that, recessive, and so can travel from generation to generation without being noticed until it meets up with another recessive mutation.
Even the dominant mutations don't usually die out because of partial penetrance, meaning some people just aren't severely affected by it.
this is why they say stupid people are like goats, like what kind of dumb mechanism is this? these things are lucky they're used for meat, because in the wild they'd be a predators dream
It’s a genetic condition, they aren’t necessarily stupid. Fortunately, these goats are only in captivity.
I love how they just turn into like a rock! I want a fainting goat!
LOL! I just sent this to a friend as a tutorial for their rolling techniques...
Love it!!!! Man that rigers right up & slam!!! lol
Guys, it's a defense mechanism, by 'fainting' and sticking their legs out, it looks not only like they are dead, but that they are bloated and not good to eat. It's actually pretty fucking smart.
I have this disease! Does that mean I was born with a defense mechanism? \_( )_/
Seriously? Those aren't even remotely the same. Do some fucking research.
+sallie sparrow haha yeah that's what I'm saying, it was sarcastic, but they can't help it. Sorry if I offended you somehow.
+sallie sparrow It's best you go do some research, because this has nothing to do with defense, but a genetic defect. And humans can have that genetic defect too.
+Calven Ferraro exactly thank you (:
ajhq got me here
Same XDDD playlist goats
Me to. I saw this on aj
I also got here using goats playlist! Copycat
+Gregory Burley Saaaaaame
This is very strange!!!
thumbs up for the description
Seems Darwin was wrong
actually farmers use these in their herds so the predators catch them and not the sheep or other more valuable prey items
VolCAVRON Luna that doesnt change anything op said
yes it does... he was implying these goats evolve naturally, their mere existence proving darwinian laws wrong (natural selection and such) BUT as I already said they were bred for this purpose, making them a product of artificial selection so... yeah, you can't possibly prove Darwin was wrong with goats nor with anything for that matter xD
i think he meant they wouldve been extinct hundreds if not thousands of years ago, according to darwin. surely they cant survive in the wild. only possible explanation would be if they developed that trait after humans started to breed them in farms, which still wouldnt make sense cause why would they need this trait..
im not saying darwin is wrong, im just stating what it is.
some harmful traits asleep for generations tend to emerge due to high rates of inbreeding and this trait is actually helpful to farmers as I already explained, put these goats on a sheep heard and if wild dogs come, these goats will faint, making them an easier (and less expensive) prey, thus, the farmer does not loose any sheep
stupidest evolutionary adaptation ever.
+uncleblunts5 its not an evolution
+Aeten then please enlighten me. exactly what it is?
it's a genetic condition, the guy says it in the video
+Amber Cunningham genetic condition attributed to a whole species? sounds like evolution to me
Not an evolutionary adaptation... Pay attention it is a genetic disorder as mentioned in the video.
This is truly hilarious like it is just nonstop amusement
that is so added to my favs
OH RUNS ! A LION!
*fains*
BWAHAH
This is just too funny!
R.I.P.
...Yes.
@Hectorious2 Thank you for that. I didn't know anything about them until I came here.
that is soooo adorable!
Lol,
"-_- it must be poisoned""maybe is a trap from the farmer"
Poor goats that won’t protect them when there’s a real threat.. :(
at 0:20 he says still goats perfectly and then boom a goat rolls on its back. I Cracked up so bad!
I nearly cried at those two cats. This made me cry in laughter.
i love this
You know what fucks me up? How is this a good defense mechanism?! They're like... offering themselves to potential predators hahahaha
and when the music stops... you can FREEZE!
Pure evolution this one.
lmfao thanks god u made my day:D
I can't help but laugh! :D
That duck was funny
@JacCasper
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
*they all fall down at once*
bring me with you! XD
It's 2:24 a.m.! Just learned something new.😌 10.10.21
I just pissed myself laughing!!! LOL!
Most adorable
I agree wholeheartedly uncleblunts
Forget cow-tipping! This looks way more fun!!
Imagine this happening to a mountain goat standing on a thin edge like they do
at least they're easy to catch...
me: WHOA!!!
*entire herd faints*
*i pick up what i want and walk back*
I burst out laughing at 0:18
I want a heard of these goats. Just every morning, wake up, and run outside and yell BWAH!!! Then watch like 30 goats like bowling pin flop on the ground. Would keep me pretty entertained for year to come. Lol.
LOLOLOLOL
was not expecting that
@Salroah7 No problem :)
The goats look so cute!!! Roll like a dog~
this is halerious
I have a fainting goat named Adrian. I love opening an umbrella in front of him. Falls right over.
Wow, so much for the theory of evolution.
this makes predators go "WTF im not eatin that shit!"
Goddamnit. Made me lol in the middle of the night.
Yeah :(
If I had one, I'd put it on rollerskates, imagine that!
I love this. Video. Coooooooooooooooool
Only if they fall over particularly hard. The actually process of the muscles locking up is entirely painless.
The older goats learn to lean against walls or trees, so they don't experience any pain falling over.
The best kind of goats!
Does anyone know this National Geographic show?
i went to one in new hampshire
Omg I need to show my dad this
lol i love this
I thought that was a bunny. XD
now we just need to see it taking a dust bath.
STAR FISH!!! lol
This is actually interesting.
@Edange yes, yes it does
We have fainting goats on our farm! Come see more videos on our channel!
ok i would love to have these guys
CLEAR!!!!!
nah dudes this is a total fail, what if a bobcat comes up behind it? [goat faints] bobcat: sweet easy lunch. its an epic fail for the goats and an epic win for the bobcats
LMBO!!!!! **crying** OMG i can stop laughing
lol it reminds me of the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats" lol
go BLA!!!!
real loud ...all of them would drop lol... as
long as there not getting hurt its ok xD!!
just saw contagion and seeing this kinda freaked me out at 1st...
ilovegoats! they have so much talent
0:46 STUNTMAN COMING THROUGH
I think they should be called 'Inconsiderate goats'. I mean, whai if you decided to use your stiffed goat for a coffee table? Suddenly your coffee would go everywhere!!
My dog used to do something like that when he got cancer. I think it was a petit mal seizure. It was triggered by eating dog treats with spirulina greens in it and flashing lights.
i saw this on mythbusters.they said they had some thing that when they get scared their leg muscles tighten and they usualy fall down so when the "faint" they are still concious.
lol, armor lock :D
It's something that cropped up recently(in evolutionary terms) in a certain population, I don't remember this ever happening in goats while growing up in Guyana. It must be present in only certain populations.
@gimmeurchipz LOL !
OOOH grass! *faints. I forgot how to goat...
I was watching some exorcism and stumbled upon this?! LOL This really helps ease my mind.
These would make excellent trestle tables.
i want one of these
