According to Molly Morgan of Columbus, Ohio, who supplied said 'fact' to the list. The animal sites I've browsed, however, say that males don't actually 'bang heads' but rather poke each other with their horns so I'm undecided on whether this has been accurately observed, or not. Truth can be very odd at times. :)
I think it's more likely that someone calculated the force of such 'headbanging' and decided it would be enough to shed hooves when transmitted down to the feet. Whaddya think?
Methinks the truth can be odd at times too, so I'm not yet disbelieving it.
I know bighorn sheep are fiesty head-butters. And stags like to lock antlers and push each other around during mating season. (I can't even type that without thinking of a certain favorite character, just so you know!)
As for the old mountain goats, I'll have to read up a little more on them, I guess. : D
I once saw a little mountain goat family (mom, dad, kid) at 20 ft range. That made my year!

Starfish don't have brains. No, but they have brain-like nerve clusters at the end of each arm. :) (Marine biologist's daughter? Yes). Also, when chimps and tapirs are fed organic bananas in the zoo (this was recorded in Copenhagen), they eat the whole thing. When they get 'standard' they peel them. Now that's interesting. :)
