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.

Why goats faint if you scare them?

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!
