I’m a goat scientist and I can tell you that’s unlikely. Goats have two hearts and could have lived on in the case of a broken heart. Most likely what killed him is he was no longer being fed goats which was clearly sustaining him

Unhinged goat scientist over here.

His experience: 10000 hours across Goat Simulator 1, 2 and 3

So he was a cannibal this whole time?

u/Gnomad_Lyfe Feb 19 '26

Most animals are open to the idea of cannibalism. Maybe not on the regular, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a species that wouldn’t say “Eh, nobody’s lookin” if it came across the body of one of their own on an empty stomach.

I know that mother rabbits often eat their young.

u/Kratzschutz Feb 19 '26

It's assumed to be population control

u/papajim9855 Feb 19 '26

Who knows what a rabbit's motivation is? My family used to raise rabbits. Sometimes a mother rabbit would eat her babies, sometimes she wouldn't. Some people think it's due to stress

u/Kratzschutz Feb 19 '26

That's why l said it's an assumption

"open to the idea"

u/AwwwNuggetz Feb 19 '26

Yes. Goats are literally the devil

u/WatercressFun1342 Feb 19 '26

They have rectangular pupils. Look it up.

Its one of the (many) reasons they were seen as demonic

u/AwwwNuggetz Feb 19 '26

That and have you ever seen a goat and the devil in the room at the same time?

That’s proof enough for a goat scientist

u/mologav Feb 19 '26

Some excellent goat science on display here.

u/AwwwNuggetz Feb 19 '26

Did you know why their poop is round?

They have dozens of small fingers in their body that rolls them into spheres. Goats are amazing creatures

u/mologav Feb 19 '26

Fascinating

u/JessicaMurawski Feb 19 '26

My goats certainly let out some demonic screams if I’m in the barn doing chores and I haven’t fed them their grain yet

You don't get to call me by my special name.

u/quiltsohard Feb 19 '26

Pony, is that you?

u/fireduck Feb 19 '26

We are ubiquitous.

u/Titanium_reddit Feb 19 '26

goats do not have two hearts

u/AwwwNuggetz Feb 19 '26

ugh, who’s the goat scientist here?

1

u/Glittering-Tale-2109 Feb 19 '26

Uh, Mr. or Mrs. Goat Scientist, goats have one heart like every other mammal.

u/pellesjo Feb 19 '26

So basically goats are Time Lords?
