Recently, a video on foreign social platforms caused netizens to discuss, in the video a black goat stands and walks like a person, and also led a hen behind him into the house, it is said that the goat ate this chicken, is this true? Do "goat people" really exist? Come and go, pay attention to passers-by, listen to what customers say.
Do sheep really eat chicken? Eat not only chicken, but also fish!
The phenomenon of sheep "opening meat" has not appeared more than once, before someone photographed a sheep standing in front of several baskets of chicks constantly chewing chicks, and some people photographed sheep not only eating chickens, but also eating fish! When I was a child, many people had sheep at home, basically the first thing after school every day was to lead the sheep to a full meal, and we have always known that sheep are herbivores, so why does it "open meat"?
In fact, it is very common for herbivores to eat meat, such as cattle eating snakes, deer eating rabbits, elephants eating fish, etc. We think of vegetarian animals, there are almost no simple vegetarians. Some experts believe that it is likely that it is due to the lack of salt in their bodies or a certain mineral caused by "pica".
There are many causes of pica, such as environmental factors, nutritional factors, disease factors, etc., if cattle, sheep and other animals eat artificial feeding feed for a long time, it is likely to cause a lack of a certain substance in the body, eating soil, licking the fence, drinking the urine of companions and so on.
Some studies have also found that in fact, herbivores themselves may eat meat, from the perspective of digestion, meat is better digested than plants, herbivores can even digest plants, let alone meat.
And animal protein is better absorbed than plant protein, higher nutritional value, before foreign scholars have done animal behavior related research found that if the herbivores kill a relatively weak animal, then it will be impressed by this, and will also eat it, the reason why they mainly eat vegetarian because in the long-term evolution of the herbivorous body structure can not be hunted.
Whatever the reason, it is indeed possible for herbivores to eat meat, but whether the goats in the video have eaten the chickens after they have been led into the house is impossible to verify, presumably only the owner of the farm knows.
Does the walking of the goats standing on two feet have anything to do with the "goat people"? Do "goat people" really exist?
Many people see a goat walking on two feet and unconsciously think of "goat man"! And the legends and records about the "goat people" are not few, so is there a relationship between the goats standing on two feet and the "goat people"? Does the "Goat Man" really exist?
Since the 1950s, the U.S. state of Maryland has been circulating legends about the "goat people", and there have been many records of the "goat people" since then. According to local residents, it is a creature with a "sheep's head", the lower body is as hairy as a sheep, about 1.8 meters tall, and it also carries an axe-like thing with it, and some people who claim to have seen goat people say it will make a squeaking sound and move sneakily at night.
Eyewitnesses about the "Goat Man":
In 1960, according to one surviving traveler, 14 of their travelers encountered a goat man on their way to the Louisville Mountains, Kentucky. Before they could react, the Goats pounced on them and fled back into the woods after tearing apart the other 13 travelers in a short time.
In 1971, a farmer claimed to have seen a man on the mountain grazing on a wild boar, and when he got closer, the "goat" noticed him and turned and ran deep into the woods.
Also in 1976, staff at a local country club in Maryland reported spotting a beast outside the club, but when they got closer, they found a goat man with bones scattered around him.
To this day, the stories and legends of the "Goat Man" are still circulating locally, but no one has recorded substantial evidence of the "Goat Man". Therefore, there is no way to verify whether the "goat man" really exists, some people say that it is produced by the laboratory of genetic research in the United States, and some people say that it may be caused by people misreading when the animal is standing on its feet, just like the picture of the black goat standing and walking.
Why do sheep stand on their feet?
In fact, there are 3 possibilities for sheep to stand, one is through training, sheep are a highly intelligent animal, with strong memory and cognitive ability, according to a British researcher in 2001 released a study found that sheep can recognize and remember at least 50 different faces, memory time can be more than 2 years, so it is possible to train sheep.
In 2020, there is a two-legged black goat walking on the street in Terwala, Bihar, India, which is understood to be the result of hours of training by the goat's owner.
The second is for food, some animals in order to eat food in high places, will stand up to get, such as leaves and fruits. Third, because of diseases, such as the "sheep strong" in Yunnan, a sheep pen in Xinping County, Yunnan Province, lives a sheep with only two legs. It is understood that this lamb may have suffered a blow to the stomach of the ewe when she was pregnant, resulting in the development deformity of the lamb at birth, and has only walked on two legs since then.
What do you think of sheep "opening meat" and standing and walking? Well, I'm here today, pay attention to the passers-by, have heard the guests say, we'll see you next time.
