Tree Climbing Goats Of Morocco

In southwest Morocco, you might actually be forgiven for asking daft questions like 'do goats grow on trees?' Everywhere you look, you will find dozens of goats hanging out lazily from the tree tops, munching absentmindedly like overgrown crows.

Goats are skilled climbers and are known to scale steep rock faces and mountains in search of food. The ones in Morocco climb trees for the same reason - food, which is otherwise scarce in this drought-ridden region.
