[News] 美洲特产'昏倒羊'(图)

American farmers have a smaller-than-average goat, nicknamed the "fainting goat." As the name suggests, they go stiff and fall over when startled or excited and seem to faint, Taiwan's ETTV Network reported Monday. Thanks to a genetic condition called "myotonia congenita," fainting goats fall down like rows of bowling pins when they are frightened, making people laugh.


据台湾"东森新闻网"24日报道，美洲有一种"昏倒羊"，在紧张或兴奋时会僵硬倒地，像昏倒一样。"昏倒羊"是山羊的一种，比山羊体型稍小，受一种名为"先天性肌强直症"遗传基因病的控制。只要稍微受到惊吓，羊群就像保龄球瓶般，一只只全部倒地，让人忍俊不禁。
