Balearic Islands cave goat had no predators for many generations of their evolution that their eyes moved from the side of their heads to forward-facing. The species had gone extinct when new stressors showed up (predators, humans, and others).
I was thinking recently about the social and business versions of this goat.
Companies like Kodak, My-Space, Blockbuster, Blackberry, etc., all fit the Goat category in my view.
