Funning goats
In Tennessee, breeders have bred a breed of goats that, in emergency situations, fall into a stupor. This is due to a rare genetic disease – in stressful situations, animals experience complete muscle paralysis, since it is impossible to stand in this state, they fall on their side or back. In this case, the goats are fully conscious. Situations in which a fainting goat can lose “feelings”: a threat to life, a large amount of favorite grain and a charming member of the opposite sex.

Snakehead
The fish differs not only in appearance, but in bad character. She devours all the fish in the pond, not excluding her offspring. But that's not all – when everything in the reservoir is eaten, the fish moves to land – in search of a suitable victim, the fish can stay on the ground for up to three days. Attacks on people have been reported.
