Courting Rituals
Every culture has its courting rituals.
Every species does, too.
Fainting goats are no exception to this.
In fact, they have a rather interesting courting ritual.
Naturally, all of the courting is done by the buck.
Getting ready for a date is quite a lengthy process.
First, there is the task of preparing his hygiene....
application of cologne is a must
(in the form of musky urine which is sprayed on his beard)
Close attention is payed to this process,
as it takes many applications to get the scent just right!
Next, a call is put out for all available does.
The buck spends weeks calling the ladies...
trying to entice them with his best Barry White impression.
Once a doe is close enough to appreciate his efforts,
he launches into a showy display of blubbering and snorting.
Each snort sends a spray of urine tainted saliva...
tantalizing pheromones designed to drive her wild.
(turn your volume up to get the full effect!)
The rest is.....
well.....
you know the rest of the story!
