Funny Facts: Fainting At The Goats!

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 get their name because of a genetic condition called myotonia congenita.

This condition 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 though, this doesn’t harm the goats at all.

Do Fainting Goats Actually Faint?

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.
