Became the only known cold blooded mammal and survived on a dank little island for five million years until humans showed up three thousand years ago and ate them to extinction.
Damn.
they basically could only survive inside that closet of an ecosystem… anywhere outside and they were easy meat for any medium sized predator… apparently they were exceptionally slow, weak and stupid as a result of the adaptation…
I’ve found my spirit animal
Humans, the only mammal more cold blooded than the goat.
I mean… Have you ever watched any other mammals hunt? 🤦
No but I watched a large man eat an entire cheeseburger in 1 bite, does that count?
I want to try them.
Goat is one animal you never hear “tastes like chicken” about.
Funny creatures.
They also have 320° wide screen vision. Hence the funky eyeballs.
Extinct goat was cold blooded
They’d ram you in the junk then just laugh
That’s amazing!
That explains my mum, the old goat.
i wonder if they somehow triggered a state of aestivation and adapted to it… Aestivation is a kind of light hibernation that animals like crocodiles enter when it gets hot and dry for long periods… i was thinking their “cold-bloodedness” sounded like hibernation maybe…
