so, it's a predator goat.
- I'm going to guess as an island species, it had no natural predators, and therefore the evolutionary pressure for it to have a wide field of view did not exist
  
  Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes... I wonder what it is.
  
  I mean, it it has pupils like that, it has a wide field of vision. That's the whole point of rectangular pupils. I would assume that having front-facing eyes would also give it depth perception, but maybe it needed that for making difficult jumps or something?
- It DOES seem menacing

  "I'm scared, Poncho"
Suddenly those creepy Renaissance paintings of animals make a lot more sense.
- Is this from the never ending story?
  
  Despite my love for Jim Henson, I still can’t get over the movie adaptation turning Falkor into a fucking dog-worm.
  
  Falkor wasn't played by Anthony Head in the version I saw.
I've always wanted to look a goat directly in the eyes. It's a dream of mine.

Hell no

Goats already usually look high, this fella is in the stratosphere
So it's a predator?
- Beat me to it. I was like pretty soon it's gonna start eating you.
- Preys upon grass
Why does this look like a child molester?
- Forward facing eyes are indicative of a predator.
  
  And they are called kids...
- Because forward facing eyes is usually a trait associated with predators.
- You think everything looks like a child molester
GNU
- Definitely not UNIX 😬
Extinct due attacks from behind
Looks like something in medieval paintings.
Predator goat species any% speedrun when
It looks like it was drawn by a furry artist who specializes in particularly perverted characters. I love it!
- "It's just my artstyle!!111"
  
  Pervgoat is in the prowl for more pussy after being released for his third public indecency offense.
It went extinct 5000y ago.. so it has to be a reconstitution based on fossils..?
- 5000 years could mean bones rather then fossils.
Nature of Predators.

I get why they were scared now.
- I did not expect a NoP reference here, but nevertheless it was what I immediately thought about seeing this image lmao.
  
  Imagine a poor venlil born with this defect.
  
  Not having access to NoP anymore was the worse part of being permabanned from reddit. I love it.
I trust him
He's on a good trip
Is this the og Donkey from shork?
- Yes
That's just like your opinion, man.

I wonder if its panoramic vision overlaps in the front since the eyes are too close
He looks like he knows what's in that embarrassing picture of SpongeBob at the Christmas party.
