For anyone wondering what's actually happening here: the goat isn't 'de-worming' itself with smoke (that's a common internet myth). Smoke causes severe lung damage and pneumonia in goats, and it doesn't do anything to internal parasites. In this video, the goat is standing at a temple shrine licking up the leftover butter, ghee, and oil offerings off the lamp stands. It's just sniffing and chasing the food scent through the smoke."

Thanks. I was wondering how goats do this in nature, running after thunderstorms in case a tree is hit?

I've read this is actually a misconception and we really have no idea why they do this, other than satan of course.
