It looks like it was drawn by a furry artist who specializes in particularly perverted characters. I love it!

Pervgoat is in the prowl for more pussy after being released for his third public indecency offense.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 9 points 19 hours ago

Nature of Predators.

I get why they were scared now.

[-] Arkthos@pawb.social 3 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Not having access to NoP anymore was the worse part of being permabanned from reddit. I love it.

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

When the edible hits you to hard…

Preys upon grass

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago

Beat me to it. I was like pretty soon it's gonna start eating you.

[-] literallyacat@lemmy.ml 5 points 23 hours ago

I wonder if its panoramic vision overlaps in the front since the eyes are too close

[-] jwt@programming.dev 95 points 1 day ago

Suddenly those creepy Renaissance paintings of animals make a lot more sense.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 28 points 1 day ago

Is this from the never ending story?

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Falkor wasn't played by Anthony Head in the version I saw.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Despite my love for Jim Henson, I still can’t get over the movie adaptation turning Falkor into a fucking dog-worm.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 4 points 20 hours ago

Oh my gosh. Is there a book?!

[-] TerHu@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago

yes and my copy has the text in red and green ink depending on whether it’s describing reality of the fantasy world. it’s an awesome book!

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 points 17 hours ago

There are two books ... ;-))

Definitely not UNIX 😬

[-] protist@mander.xyz 76 points 1 day ago

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

[-] fristislurper@feddit.nl 22 points 1 day ago

Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes... I wonder what it is.

[-] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 73 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depth perception is advantageous. It is even beneficial for island goat activities.

With the absence of natural predators, the disadvantages of the narrow field of view are mostly outweighed by the advantages of depth perception .

[-] abies_exarchia@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago

Not necessarily, with “genetic drift” random phenotypic changes can happen that have a neutral effect on fitness. So if they don’t need side-facing eyes, then this can just happen randomly. Especially if the sideways eyes are in some way “costly” to maintain

You're the one I saw in my dreams!

[-] TTH4P@lemm.ee 84 points 1 day ago

I've always wanted to look a goat directly in the eyes. It's a dream of mine.

It went extinct 5000y ago.. so it has to be a reconstitution based on fossils..?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

5000 years could mean bones rather then fossils.

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Is this the og Donkey from shork?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 33 points 1 day ago

Me when the edibles kick in.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

Looks like something in medieval paintings.
