This is a breed characteristic of only the Fainting goats. They do this because their heart beats too fast when they are scared and faint, no harm is done to them when they do faint, they will simply get back up and begin to eat or play.
Pygmy goats do not faint; myotonic or "fainting" goats do. They faint because of an inherited genetic disorder called myotonia. This causes the muscles to stiffen when the goat is frightened, and they remain tense for a few seconds.
Loud noises and sudden movements
The parents must be heterozygous for the fainting gene, meaning one parent has the dominant allele (N) and the other has the recessive allele (n). This would result in a 50% chance of the offspring inheriting the recessive allele from both parents and fainting.
Horses don't faint in the same way humans do, as they have a different physiological response to stress. However, they can experience a condition called syncope, which is a sudden, temporary loss of consciousness due to a drop in blood flow to the brain. This can happen in scenarios such as extreme stress or a sudden drop in blood pressure.

There is a specific breed of goat (the fainting goat) that "faints" when startled or scared. Their muscles just freeze. It is a self-defense mechanism - most predators would not be interested in an already-dead animal. Though many people think that it is funny when these goats faint, it is actually not good for the goats if it happens often. People really shouldn't scare them on purpose!
