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.
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.
Dude looks shifty af
When the edible hits you to hard…
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.
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 .
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
If sideways eyes are "costly" compared to forward facing eyes, then that would technically be a push for forward facing.

Suddenly those creepy Renaissance paintings of animals make a lot more sense.
Is this from the never ending story?
Falkor wasn't played by Anthony Head in the version I saw.

You're the one I saw in my dreams!
Hell no
I think you mean Hail Satan.
Nah, even Satan is uncomfortable looking at that one. Sacrifice not accepted. In fact, resurrected.

Goats already usually look high, this fella is in the stratosphere
Me when the edibles kick in.
Extinct due attacks from behind
Why does this look like a child molester?
Because forward facing eyes is usually a trait associated with predators.

It was also a cold-blooded mammal.
EDIT: new information suggests they probably were not.
