Myotonic Goats

I gotta say, my cousins spew a whole lot of inanity, but I'll never doubt them when it comes to goats. When they tell me that there's a rare genetic trait that manifests in some goats as a possum-like defense mechanism where the goats legs lock up in a hilarious attempt to escape some predator; when they tell me that they just fall over flat by the dozen in a manner that causes some to call them Tennessee Scare Goats, I will never doubt them again.
