π₯The Damascus goat is like the bulldog of goats. It has an exceptionally short face and is much taller than most goat breeds.
Looks like an animal out of Star Wars
I thought it was an animatronic for a movie at first lol
I thought so too since only it's neck and head were sticking out. The angle made it look like all the mechanical wizardry was hidden behind the wall.
as if Chuck E Cheese got a goat.
US reference.
reminded me of the goat from emperors new grove
That's a llama
βA llama? Heβs supposed to be dead!β
Yeah, talk about weird...
No, you're thinking of The Emperor's New Groove. The person you're replying to is talking about the sequel,Β The Emporer's New Grove, where the emperor plants a bunch of mango seeds and nurtures the trees until they bare delicious fruit. Hilarity ensues when he's turned into one of these freaky goats and caught in the grove.Β
No its david spade without his movie make up
If it spits in your eye and is not all that droopy, that's a llama!
I did too, and I think I was better off not knowing itβs a real animal. So bizarre looking.
Definitely likely something that inspired mythical/fantasy creatures π―ππ§πΌ
I think more horror movie.
Its movements, particularly of the facial features, feel random, reminiscent of those seen in movie animatronics demos.
They also Stink Hard!! I can tell u that. And they also are a very aggressive yet loyal breed of goat. U can smell them before u see them. and another thing I personally witnessed is them known for sipping their own piss straight from the pisser by extending their penis close their mouths and shooting bouts of miss all over their mouth.
-Another similar but large domesticated breed is Kamori goat and Makhi Cheena breed from Pakistan.
And yet pigs are considered unclean to more than one religion? Gag
It's not about them being 'unclean', it's about pigs requiring a lot of water to thrive because they don't have sweat glands, so religions originated in the desert stated that ban because they needed the water for another things.
Honestly, this has to be the best explanation of a religious belief that Iβve ever read. I always figured it was because pigs transfer a boatload of possible parasites, and since medical science was almost nonexistent, you avoid the problem altogether by eliminating it from the diet.
There's that too - pigs are quite similar to humans biologically and can carry a lot of the same diseases. So it does make some sense to avoid the meat if you're stuck in a desert with no fridges.
Interesting
Could be what they said about water but itβs interesting and worth looking at on your own too. There are a bunch of theories they were competition with us because we ate the same food, they exhibit human behavior so it felt weird, they were used to eat garbage of societies-so naturally they seemed dirtyβ¦ thereβs more but yeah itβs interesting.
I got that from anthropologist Marvin Harris. "Good to Eat" and "Cannibals and Kings" are good reads for everyone.
It's also more challenging to keep fed AND to safely prepare.
I thought pigs were considered dirty because if you don't cook its meat enough you're quite sure you're getting parasites.
My pop raised goats for decades and oof the smell is staggering!! The courting habits are also really gross (and impressive) lol he can aim his piss stream into his own mouth and basically gargle it as a show of prowess/stud.
Animals really are just like us sometimes
How tall do they stand?
about an average white tail buck's length but not that heavy maybe 120-160lb max . Just tall and stiff necked.
Crazy, they look huge. They look like the dragons Mad Martigan fights in Willow.
Many varieties of billy goat do this for breeding purposes.
And they're apparently successful huh?
... brb gotta go buy a beer bong
I wonder if it yells like a wookiee?
I was just going to say, split that jaw an you have the Arbiter without a helmet.
It looked like a Prophet to me!
Jim Henson creation!
Like an unused Dark Crystal design.
Ride that Ton Ton
And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!
My first thought was can I ride it?
Yep, I was like Luke Skywalker cut that open and crawled inside of it to keep warm.
You can't fool me!
I feel like ir could talk in Star Wars, maybe even be a Jedi knight in the council
It was the basis for the goats from the last Thor movie
Nope.
Toothgrinder is a Markhor(Capra falconeri), and Toothgnasher is a regular Goat(Capra hircus).
Keeping it REDDIT baby!! (lol, thanks to you both. The didnβt know/ now I know because random perfect expert whiplash is so pleasing.)
Donβt you love it?!!! The amount of random shit Iβve learned on here is incredible.
I was thinking hellboy but same diff
I was just about to say that
Lmao I came here to say exactly this.
Giving me Ballchinian vibes from MIB
It looks like Prophets from Halo.
Nah, thatβs the prophet of truth
Thing looks like it needs to be in a resident evil game
Looks like a boss from Parasite Eve 2. After the player departs the little motel town you run into something like this, but itβs all white.
Bro +1 for a game reference I forgot all about lol
lol one of my top 5 forsure
It's no Dino Crisis but it's a good one.
Thatβs my number two!
1) resident evil series
2) Dino crisis
3) onimusha
4) parasite eve 2
5) silent hill 2
All of these games I can play over and over and never get bored. I wish they were remake Dino crisis!
A connoisseur of tank controls
Such a shame we never got a proper sequel
Damn ugly chasers, I remember trudging around the motel for ages
Hate the 2nd phase. No lights so you can't lock on til he's already breathing on your shoulder
Can you imagine the terror youβd feel running into this out on your own? Youβre lost and losing daylight. You keep calling out to hopefully be heard and saved and then you hear a little rustling in the leaves up ahead. You think itβs a person and you take off toward the sound feeling hope in your heart until you see itβ¦this monstrosity.
I really would be thinking Iβm on some resident evil shit, running into this thing. βWhat can I say about that goat that hasnβt already been said about Afghanistanβ?
All the weirder because people deliberately bred them to look like that for their 'beauty' :S
"Why you have your daughter there right there in your very hands!" Was my first thought
there are goats like these in my country and goddamn they look far more normal. Yes they are bigger than other goats but not THIS big and their faces arent disfigured. what god forsaken creature is this. it's probably extremely inbred to look like this
There are normal damascus goats and then there are some kind of ultra expensive breeds of damascus goats with this look, millionaires buy and sell them like purebred horse market
But afaik they aren't as big as the video tries to show, I thinks its just a perspective trick
Yeah they arenβt as big as this video makes them look. I suspect this is taken in a small barn with a low roof, kinda common with sheep and goats. Inside the animals look massive but the roof is only like 5 or 6 feet tall lol.
Big by goat standards, but they arenβt llama sized lol. The tallest goat breeds in the world rarely break 3 feet in height.
Roof : 1,5-1,8 meters. Tallest goat : 1 meter. (translation for foreigners). It's indeed smaller than the monster I imagine here.
This is a fancy Damascus goat. A show goat.
what's it showin? horror?
This is how I feel when I see French bulldogs and pugs
So most definitely inbred then

The GOAT Damascus goat.
maybe this one has facial deformities
It looks like my balls after a long days work
If you look on Google for pictures of Damascus goats you get two distinct sorts: goats with short but normal goat shaped faces, and these monstrosities. A lot of the ones like this have surgically cropped ears and very little fur too. Its definitely a genetic mutation, likely a fairly recent one, people are trying to inbreed and fix for some god forsaken reason. Why people always want to fuck up a perfectly good animal is beyond me...
I wondered if this was a deformed/disfigured example of the creature?? They can't all look like this??
Jfc thatβs the ugliest thing Iβve ever seen, my wife would like two of them plz.
Name them βPattyβ and βSelma.β
I was 85% sure those are Marge simpsons sisters names. Googled to confirm and found this
Patricia Maleficent "Patty" Bouvier and Selma Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Discotheque-Simpson-D'Amico are fictional characters in the American animated sitcom The Simpsons.
What simpson did Selma marry?
She married Grampa Simpson
Which is ironic, since its younger form is a pretty goatΒ
Even that one looks vaguely unsettling, IMO.
Itβs going to whisper to you in a childβs voice to follow it to your heartβs desire, then lead you into a bog.
Itβs the eyes. Something about goats eyes always look unsettling to me
Itβs something you would definitely expect something terrible to happen if you saw it
Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
What the fuck. How does this creature end up being so goddamn ugly (as an adult)? Fucking hell. The adult version is the only ugly goat I have ever seen in my life. Of course, this also makes it the ugliest fucking goat I have ever seen.
I'm so upset over this that I'm laughing about it.
Omg it's ears are amazing I just want to play with them and watch it running and hopping through the fields...it would make a great buddy for a dumbo sequel
Ugly creatures are so fantastic though. Like the goblin shark.
Hello pre-evolved brute from Halo.
I was going to say it reminds me of the prophets
Yeah actually I agree with you, more prophet less brute.
100%, I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this.
This doesnβt feel right
Is it... okay?
I canβt tell where its face is
Bruh I see this, I start wondering if I summoned Satan
Did we (humans) do this? I hope not lol.
It is selective breeding. Breeders usually keep the goats with the most extreme features for further breeding, so Damascus goats can look drastically different from breeder to breeder.
I do it with my freshwater skrimps!
Edit: whoever downvoted me has no idea what selective breeding in freshwater shrimp entails, Iβm just looking for better color not physical defects Iβm not doctor Frankenstein for gods sake lol
Shrimps is bugs
Fuckin cool ass little fellas though, then you got the big filter feeder shrimp that are like the size of crawdads called bamboo shrimp and vampire shrimp that are awesome too
I'm getting a tank soon and want to populate it with some shrimp, what species have you found to be the most active/interactive?
They are a bit harder to keep so you gotta be on your shit a bit more, but with some research and time they are dope as hell.
Go with Neocardinia, Iβd say specifically cherry shrimp but all the variations require similar requirements
Appreciate the info man thanks
Start a planted tank a full two months before getting shrimp, the more planted the better. Have it cycled a full month before introducing the shrimp and you will be much more successful keeping them.
Thanks I've just noted this down, I still have more research to do before I get a tank, and a lot more before putting any actual living animals in it. I want to do everything I can to make it the ideal enironment for whatever animal I end up choosing.
What do you think are the biggest mistakes new aquarium owners, or shrimp owners make?
Check out r/shrimptank
I'll just live vicariously through aquascaping youyube channels. There's also a hilarious terrarium guy. I want to say the channel is called homemade ecosystems. Indian accent (so people know that's the one I'm talking about), stupid puns and dad jokes, and self deprecating humor.
urhm actually thats not indian accent its dutch
Yea I looked back at a vid again after I commented. I see that now that you say it. I'm not always great with picking accents out and it had been a long time
All my shrimp experience has been how delicious each one seems to be. How the fuck do you people not get hungry and eat them.
I fuckin love me some srimps.
Same, doing a 75 gallon Sulawesi rabbit snail and shrimp breeding project here shortly thatβs gonna go fuckin nuts lol
We did bulldogs, so probably π€
Poor thing. Β That face looks like it hurts.
Itβs killing me!
ofc
I was just going to say, does this count as "nature"? We made this animal what it is, surely this sub wouldn't allow a similarly selectively-bred dog breed to be posted...
To me, "nature" = wild animals, not domesticated.
We did it to bulldogs. We did it to this.
So, yes. We are assholes. Don't support torture breeds of any animal.
Yeah. Whilst I agree that nature is indeed Fucking Lit, nature didn't do this, humans did it.
You know we (humans) did.
... A regional variant?
OK, let's do this.
hurls PokΓ©ball
This thing at least needs the ultra ball
Agreed. Seriously, this world is becoming more and more Pokemon every time we keep posting new regional animals
Remember when there were only 151? The good ole days
I was fine when we hit Gen 2, but once we went to Gen 3 and above, they lost me.
They are unique and all but they are this way because of selective breeding, so not r/NatureIsFuckingLit
Oh, it LITERALLY is the bulldog of goats. People breed it specifically to look like that.
How disgustingβ¦
Nightmare fuel
I'm over here silently screaming "Noooooooo" and I can't keep looking at this lmfao.
I'm definitely dreaming about this later.
Those poor creatures look like theyβre in pain just from existing. Why would people do this??
They look like they are high and miserable at the same time.
That's so sad.
In dogs, the genetic freak are brachycephalic dogs, namely French frenchies and pugs.
In horses, it's the Arabian
In goats, it's the Damascus
In memes, its trap music behind videos like this
There are also tumbler pigeon breeds that, when they try to fly, just end up rolling on the ground over and over again
There are also competitions where people chuck said breeds like bowling balls and see how far they roll https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mOmZHDsegEU&pp
Humans sure are assholes
Arabian horses and damascus goats are usually functional creatures. Arabians especially were bred for function. They are more comparable to greyhounds, if anything.
Pugs (and many popular dogs) are a different story.
What's going on with it's mouth??
I'm still trying to figure out where it's nose stops and the mouth begins. Ngl, that thing looks scary.
If you look closely, you can see its bottom row of teeth. His upper lip is immediately above them, so it looks like its mouth is actually closed but the teeth just jut out. Its nostrils are further up, but at first glance you might mistake them as its mouth. I know another poster joked about inbreeding, but I highly suspect it's a factor.
Damn man..
Read all the comments.
Iβm the only one that sees the BBC ears.
Well, I see it NOW
Nightmare fuel
Why does it have long dicks hanging from where the ears would be?
Kill meeeee
Thatβs the ugliest animal Iβve ever seen. I bet even the babies are fugly
actually the opposite
They cute: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/s/zScmyVzIqN
Knowing that adorable beautiful thing is going to grow up into a horrifying abomination makes me sad.
The babies are beautiful.
They look like delicate unicorns whose horns haven't grown in yet.
Thatβs a face only a mother could love
Homeslice accidentally took a peak inside the arc of the covenant
This is not a goat. This is my vagina immediately after giving birth
As a dude on ground zero with a different perspective of two birthsβ¦
You ainβt wrong and I appreciate the visual I ainβt touchin my wife for a week now thanks πππ
Sheβs not lying.. that is vaginal prolapse in animal form
Looks like a in bred cow
Looks like a character that would quiz you with a riddle before answering your question that youβd travelled across the known world to ask.
Goat with breathing problems most likely, like short faced dogs and cats
T-Virus outbreak has spreadβ¦
Does it have similar respiratory issues and all as bulldogs?
Reminds me of the dragon/Eborsisk from Willow.
That cannot be real π
Black Philip x Alien
The ugliest creature on Earth. Even Klaus Schwab looks better.
Its face looks like a bird and a cat fighting in a big black plastic bag, how the hell is this a thing?
lol youβre absolutely right. Have you seen this description before somewhere else or did you make it up on the spot? π
The ear kinda looked like a bird wing or a cat foot
- This is not natural
- This is not "lit" Why would you disrespect this sub with a horrific abomination born of man's hubris?
Heβs about to drop some lore to the chosen undead
Just looks inbred, ngl.
Hey, you guys!
If the shave him heβd look like and big ass old sweaty nut sack
Nah, that's a dude that got cursed by a witch.
Yuck, ugly.
The whole capra genus creeps me out, and this is the weirdest of them all
It's disturbing to look at
Looks like a funky, pissed off TaunTaun
Looks like a mythical troll
Those earsβ¦..
Wtf. Are we just not going to comment about how itβs ears look like giant penises?
Wtf is wrong with that thing?
Ugly fucker
Would still smash
Ear looks like the black guy sitting on the bed meme
My brain took about 5 seconds to process what I was looking at
I think that is the ugliest thing Iβve ever seen
Heβs got expressive eyes
Now is this nature... or humanity?
Nightmare incoming
"Father, what am I?"
Kill it. That is not a goat. Don't you go to the movies? Definitely alien.
God creates cute dogs and Satan keeps coming up with weird ways to make goats :/
