(PhysOrg.com) -- An extinct goat that lived on a barren Mediterranean island survived for millions of years by reducing in size and by becoming cold-blooded, which has never before been discovered in mammals.
Became the only known cold blooded mammal and survived on a dank little island for five million years until humans showed up three thousand years ago and ate them to extinction.
they basically could only survive inside that closet of an ecosystem… anywhere outside and they were easy meat for any medium sized predator… apparently they were exceptionally slow, weak and stupid as a result of the adaptation…

I’ve found my spirit animal
Humans, the only mammal more cold blooded than the goat.
I mean… Have you ever watched any other mammals hunt? 🤦
No but I watched a large man eat an entire cheeseburger in 1 bite, does that count?
I want to try them.
Goat is one animal you never hear “tastes like chicken” about.
