Fainting Goat Information and Video

Myotonic goats, also known as the fainting goat, Tennessee fainting or scare goat and the Stiff-leg goat, are a smaller breed of goat that have a condition known as myotonia congenita. Fainting goats do not actually faint but when startled or when the goat becomes excited, their muscles stiffen causing them to stop moving and sometimes fall to the ground.
