Amazed goats climb trees quickly to feed

The southwestern region of Morocco is inhabited by mountain goats with uncanny abilities. They can climb proficiently, as quickly as monkeys.

Until now, goats are often known for their ability to climb mountains, and most of the time they just roam the lawns in search of food.

However, in Morocco, it is common to see goats standing confidently on tree branches, even climbing to the top to find food.

Due to the dry weather, goats in the area have had to adapt to climbing trees to find food

They can balance on tiny treetops. The land of Morocco, arid, plants are scarce, only the argan tree produces a fruit that is especially attractive to goats. But also thanks to goats, the people here produce extremely useful argan oil.

Argan fruit brings many economic benefits to local people

Argan oil extracted from the seeds. However, the seeds are not harvested by conventional means, but by goats climbing the fruit trees. They then release manure, which locals collect to extract into essential oils.

Argan is a large tree, wide canopy, many scenes, 8-10 meters high, can live to 150-200 years old.

The foot structure of this climbing goat is very special. Each table is divided in half, with two fingers that can be extended and bent, to cling to the branches.

The sturdy base is like a lever, making it easy for the goat to climb a mountainside or tree branch.
