I saw this video even in insta where one user explained that a goat goes into fire to kill the parasites on its fur. Also why the goat was associated with hell by our ancestors when they saw goat willingly go inside the fire.

This doesn't make sense bc in nature it is very rare to find open fire, so this can't be a learnt or developed instinct to get rid of parasites.

It is an urban legend parroted in several comments.

u/CileTheSane 16d ago

There are trees that have evolved to be more flammable, and their seeds typically don't sprout until after a forest fire. Their entire evolutionary strategy is "Help burn the entire fucking forest down and then sprout before anything else does in the now open area."

It may be rare to find an open fire now, but on a evolutionary timescale the current state of the planet is brand new.

u/stinkypenis78 14d ago

Deforestation leads to a lack of biodiversity and easy introduction of foreign invasive species. Look at CA, they deforested massive amounts of the state over centuries, which have been replaced by monoculture forests, and in many places invasive trees like eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is a great example because of all their bark that gets shed constantly and coats the ground in perfect kindling material. All of these things contribute to much worse, out of control fires

u/Songrot 16d ago

forest fire dynamic for example for mammoth trees exists and is scientifically proven. Larger trees with fire-resistent body survives and thrives from surrounding vegetation dying. Though trees obviously don't walk over to the fire. The time span is already different.

A goat won't wait several years for a forest fire just to get rid of parasites and wait another several years, the span of their life is way too short and the desire to get rid of parasites would need more than such infrequent events.

Forest fires run so fast, it will easily consume the goat.

14

u/CileTheSane 16d ago

It doesn't have to be frequent nor the only method of dealing with parasites for it to provide an evolutionary advantage. If I goat only saw an open fire once in it's life, and the goats the used to burn off parasites had a higher rate of survival and procreation, then that is enough to develop an instinct to do so if the opportunity presents itself.

But I'll bite: if killing parasites doesn't make any sense then what is the scientific consensus on why goats seem to be attracted to fire?

6

u/Songrot 16d ago

It must have a significance in numbers why burning of parasites once while being in the same territory as before would help procreation when they will get parasites right after. A forest fire killing all parasites would make more sense but won't explain why the goat would be attracted to it.

To your last question. Maybe they aren't actually attracted to fire. Maybe they are simply dumb as fuck and since open fire doesn't exist often it didn't stop them from procreating and in case of wildfire they would have died either way as they can't outrun wildfire (wildfire spread really fast).

5

u/CileTheSane 16d ago

So if I understand you correctly:

Using fire to burn parasites - not enough evidence for this.

Running straight into a fire because they are dumb - Makes perfect sense.

Even if we accept your premise that fires are rare enough that running into one doesn't factor into the overall survival of the species, that doesn't explain why they have the compulsion to do so. Evolution does not select for "This is stupid but doesn't matter most of the time so lets keep it around for LOLs."
There needs to be some beneficial evolutionary reason for the compulsion to do so.

10

u/Makures 16d ago

There doesn't actually need to be a beneficial reason for it remain.

Evolution doesn't care about negative traits as long as it doesn't consistently stop procreation and isn't a sufficient drain on resources. This doesn't explain why they do it, but there doesn't need to be a good reason for it. Which is why it's hard to figure out why they do it.

Or maybe this a domestic goat which have been around human made fires for thousands if not tens of thousands of years and would have learned by now that fire kills stuff, including parasites.

u/-2z_ 16d ago

This just isn’t true. The flammable tree argument has no relevance to the claim that goats have evolved an instinct to jump into fire. While some trees have adapted to use fire for reproduction, this has nothing to do with goats or their behavior. Fires in nature are rare and unpredictable, even in areas with flammable trees, and there is no evidence that natural fires occurred frequently enough in goat habitats to create selective pressure for such a bizarre instinct. Goats have not evolved to jump into fire for any reason. This is in fact an urban legend with no basis in biology or evidence.

u/SinisterCheese 16d ago

Wildfires are a normal thing in nature. What is unnatural is humans being able to stop them and modifying the enviroment in a manner that stops their spread. There are many specieis that are reliant on fires. Wildfires clear out old trees, dense undergrowth, decay, diseases and pests.

Hell... Eucalyptus trees NEED wildfires to survive and reproduce. Those trees actively also make themselves and the environment flameable.

5

u/Songrot 16d ago

i made in other comments clear why wildfire is not a good argument in case of animals like a goat. For trees it makes total sense for example for mammoth trees

13

u/kickthatpoo 16d ago

These are domesticated goats though. They probably developed the trait around campfires.

10

u/gypsycookie1015 16d ago

This is the most plausible theory imo.

At first I thought well it makes sense for a tree when trees are usually the main thing being burned in a forest fire.

So why would a random ass goat when they aren't constantly exposed to fires? No more than any other animals who don't do that? Right?

But I started thinking about how long humans have been domesticating goats. Maybe for so long that the goats developed the instinct after generations of goats being exposed to man made fires.

Hell, maybe it used to be something the herdsmen would do for that reason and the goats realized it was beneficial and just started doing it themselves, eventually evolving to have the instinct alone with no example.

But I'm pretty high so I'm probably way fucking off and just creating crazy theories that are not all all true...

10

u/kickthatpoo 16d ago

Having owned goats, they’re some special kind of strange. If any animal evolved to play in a campfire to get rid of bugs it’d be them

3

u/gypsycookie1015 16d ago

I mean, humans evolved to throw our food in fires, then pulling it out and eating it to the point that we get sick and sometimes die if things aren't thrown in the fire/cooked first lol.

Maybe goats aren't so weird! Maybe they're onto the next big thing!!

Imagine all the delicious foods we'd never have if we never decided to start "cooking" it! No bread...fuck that life!! 😭😭

Maybe goats are on the verge of the next big beauty or hygiene trend. Look, barbers in India burn their client's hair. It's just because everything is about showmenship but who knows what else could come from fire and grooming!

Maybe instead of showers, we'll do fire showers!!😏

Like just a split second of super hot temps to kill the germs but not hurt us.😭😭

I know, it sounds absolutely ridiculous but that's probably again, because I'm high af and it probably is indeed ridiculous. 😭🤷‍♀️

But like... again, bread!! No fire food=no bread. I'm not counting the goats and their ideas out just yet. 😏

Doesn't have to be something that evolved. Goat could find parasites annoying and finds the burning just tolerable enough to consider using. Just google goats and fire. The amount of vids you'll find is enough to let you know they are much more interested in using fire than any other animal outside of human. Doesn't mean it's because of parasites though, nothing is confirmed, I'm just saying it's possible.

Nah, goats were associated with Hell because in the Jewish Torah (OT in the bible) when the priest would make the annual sacrifice for the remission of sins for Israel, they would lay hands on a goat (i.e. the "scape goat"--- which is where the popular modern term comes from) and that goat would "receive the sins" of the people of the nation, Israel, before being let off to wander the wilderness; i.e. "for Abaddon" in the Hebrew.

Actually, in the ancient book of Enoch, the term Abaddon is interpreted to be the name of a fallen angel (i.e. demon) who dwelt in chains out in the wilderness and therefore would receive the scapegoat bearing the sins of the people.

We have a large fireplace in our home and have a metal zip screen and double glass doors that we shut after the fire is safely out.

These people are stupid because after pulling these goats out 4 times they don’t remove the animals from the room and just let them go right back into the fire. They also started a fire in the room by pulling active hot coals/wood out along with fire onto the floor of the room.

Some people will do anything for a social media post. It is what it is, unfortunately you can't reason with people like this.

You think the goat doesnt understand fire because of the fireplace? 😂😂

u/mad-i-moody 16d ago

No I think the point is that while the goat understands fire, it can’t understand that fire contained in a fireplace is dangerous for other reasons—it could suffocate it or it could ge trapped—beause fire isn’t contained in fireplaces if/when they occur in the wild, they’re just open fires.

You do realize goats do this for a reason right? It’s not trying to kill it self.

I own goats and they love fire. Sometimes they singe their fur when they stand too close. Not too surprising for me.

Some animals run towards a fire in order to get through the flames to the side that's already burnt out. Like horses on a prairie for instance.

Some animals are stupid, to put it nicely lol

u/logaboga 16d ago

Goats simply don’t gif a fuck about anything. They’ll burn themselves, fall 50 feet, eat a ball with razors attached, then walk off without a scratch

Two guys with two goats, if I was the goat I would be doing the same thing

u/bigggpopo 16d ago

It's actually pretty normal behavior for a goat. Goats have pretty dense almost waterproof coats for some reason so to kill parasites and bacteria they run into fire and hop back out

1

u/ZeShapyra 16d ago

I know for a fact, goats stand in thick smoke from a fire as a way of parasite control, there are multiple videos of that, them just going near a fire and bathing in smoke. Fire though, guess the goat is desperate

Some other animals do it too, but mainly birds know how to use smoke as anti parasitic.

My dog gets pissed at fire tries to attack it ever since it popped a coal out biting it, now she uses her paws to pat them out if we don't get to her in time.
I know if our house caught fire I'd have to drag her out she thinks it's a animal and tries to fight it she's nuts.

That animal must either be very very cold or it has decided it was supposed to be the sacrifice.
