Why This Goat Freezes Like a Statue 😲#animalfacts #wildlife #factsAdded:
With just a small push, this goat suddenly turned [music] stiff. But why?
These are called fainting goats, but despite the name, they don't actually faint. They have a genetic condition called myotonia congenita. When triggered by excitement, surprise, or sudden movement, their muscles lock up for a few seconds. The goat stays [music] fully awake, it just can't move.
A few moments later, it's back to normal.
