The act of fainting does not harm goats unless they fall from height. They mostly pretend to faint when they feel stressed or are threatened, the skeletal muscles voluntarily contracts.
Not all goats faint. The breed that has found fame for falling over is called the Tennessee fainting goat or the wooden leg goats, stiff leg goats, and nervous goats, according to National Geographic.
A hereditary condition called the myotonia congenita, affecting the skeletal muscles used for movement is the reason for goats to faint. In the act of running away from a potential threat, the relaxation of the muscle is delayed and becomes rigid due to which the animal is unable to move. But it’s not a true faint. The goat remains conscious and tips over.
