Okay, picture this: you have a captive-bred tammar wallaby that you want to release into the wild, but you're worried that it won't know to run away from predators likes foxes and feral cats. What do you do? Well, one technique would be to make a stuffed predator, and then run around chasing after the wallabies with it. This apparently works really well when stuffed foxes and cats are used, but fails dismally when a stuffed goat is attempted.
I bet you can't picture that without laughing: Blaaaaag! Run away, for I am a scary… erm… goat!
