The climbing goats of Southern Morocco

Just over the fence at "Les Pierres Sauvage" our temporary home in Morocco a shepherdess from the local village would let her herd of goats roam around. The unique thing about these goats is they climb. The argan tree is unique to this area and produces "Argan oil". Used widely in Moroccan cooking it has a unique nutty taste. The local goats have taken a like to the Argan tree and have adapted to climbing these trees to get to the tasty top branches for their snack.
