Ever heard of a fainting goat? Well these guys are known as "wooden leg" or Tennessee goats and were first brought to Lewisburg, TN from Nova Scotia. This species is known for its genetic mutation that results in a muscle conformation abnormality. This causes the locking & stiffening of muscles when activated suddenly. This phenomenon appears as though the goat is fainting as it stiffly tips over when spooked or excited.
