Although I'm not Darwin, I'd theorize that it is simply evolution in progress. Only the strongest survive so these...won't, not if they come face to face with a predator and faint. However, I heard in the story that Breeders love them, perhaps that's their evolutionary trick, to survive by appealing to the hearts of a few humans. Amusing little fellows, a shame about the unecessary news report type thing.Originally posted by Horny Elf -
Actually, someone could say this disproves the existence of an Intelligent Designer. Because why would He create something like this?
My theory is that it's a recessive gene that does it and since the ones with only one copy of the gene don't faint, they live and reproduce. It's only since humans have started selective breeding that goats with both copies of the gene have shown up in large numbers.Zemyla>You know, quoting yourself in your sig is a sign of irredeemable narcissism.

Rabbits and deer do the same thing, if they get frightened enough they will freeze. It seems a rather primative defense reaction (compared to fight or flight), b ut it must work some of the times.People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else."Comment

If they'd reallt FAINT, I would understand it better, lots of animals that are too slow to run away just drop dead when a predator attacks.
Just like you're supposed to drop dead when you see a bear, because you can't outrun it.
But those guys just stiffen up for a few seconds, funny stuff

As I understand it, most predators eyes have evolved to track moving animals, so some animals then freeze hopping that the predator won't notice them. However, as anyone who has read jurassic park knows, any predator who is more fearsome than frogs have developed enough to still spot/find prey that is frozen.
