Matt and his fainting goats
Hello all, got an e-mail from Matt the other day, he was passing on a link, so I thought I'd pass it on to you.

It takes a while to load up but once it does it's quite interesting, you have to wonder how these goats ever survived in the wild...?

Ah yes, the herbivore's tried and tested defence against wolves and other predators - to fall down when getting startled or excited. How on earth did these things not get naturally selected out? I think that this might be a strange genetic mutation that was positively selected by farmers for kicks.
