That Dang-old Goat Fell Over

Join Josh and Chuck as they dive into the fascinating world of "fainting goats" and discover they're not actually fainting at all! The hosts explore the science behind myotonic goats, whose muscles temporarily stiffen when startled, causing them to topple over in what looks like a dramatic faint. They'll unpack the genetics, the history of how these goats made their way from Nova Scotia to Tennessee, and why farmers have been breeding them for over a century - plus touch on the ethics of breeding animals for this unusual trait.
