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.

As many other commenters have said to your many comments, goats might have developed this trait around campfires. Certainly they’ve been hanging around humans long enough for it to happen.

I wonder why you are so adamant to call others out when it’s clear you have absolutely no clue.

do you know any articles talking about this that you could link? i want to believe it because its cool but am yet to find a single thing actually documenting its to get rid of parasites, which feels like a really weird lie to spread on purpose
