The Tree-Climbing Goats Of Morocco

image credit: -sel cc

Found in the small village of Tamri in Morocco, these goats climb Argan trees in search for food. Argan berries are about the best food a Tamri goat could imagine, and to reach the fruit requires them to be adept in an extraordinary balancing act that’s quite unexpected from a hoofed animal.

Over time, the goats seem to have mastered this acrobatic skill, traipsing sure-footedly on the narrow branches of the Argan trees. It's truly a wondrous and bizarre thing to behold.
