When I first met my little friends 

Anyway they had these REALLY CUTE little Goats and I want some !
If you clap your hands near them they just fall over sideways !
It is (I think) a heart condition and a sort of protective reaction to shock.. have a look at the vdeos and you'll see what I mean ....
If you are holding a cup of coffee then put it down or forever have sticky keys on your keyboard....

Fainting Goats 

are rather like supernatural beings - you don't believe in them till you meet one !
The story I was told is that an Irishman first brought them over the mountains into California and said that he found them in Tenessee (hence Tenessee Fainting Goats.
I know there is a Tennessee (Sorry I can't spell it properly but I try my best ..) Fainting Goat Association and I have this truly Wonderous vision of a Faining Goat Rodeo or the Carnival of The Fainting Goats.. how would they judge them - the fastest one to hit the ground while running ?

Akthough I find them both incredibly cute and funny at the same time, I do wonder what they are like as pets.
Anyway enjoy the videos ! I did ...

Fainting Goats 

next week the incredible Farting Duck

A fainting goat is a breed of domestic goat whose muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled. Though painless, this generally results in the animal collapsing on its side. The characteristic is caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita. When startled, younger goats will stiffen and fall over. Older goats learn to spread their legs or lean against something when startled, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle.

Oh look its fallen over ..... 

Must have stood too close to the Farting Duck
