Moroccan Goats

No, this isn't just another cleverly photoshopped picture. These nimble Moroccan goats jump from branch to branch in this argan tree to graze on argan nuts. Normally you see this type of goat on near vertical cliffs in the mountains, but these goats have found another avenue for extreme climbing. Of course, they're doing it not for the adrenaline rush but for one of their favorite snacks. The habitat in which they live has a relatively limited amount of food, so the Moroccan goats have  adapted in order to survive.

     The Berbers, indigenous people of North Africa, also collect these nuts to extract oil from them. The oil is used for many things such as cosmetics and a healthy fatty acid. Unfortunately the tree is beginning to become over-harvested. This is a bad thing both for the goats and the Berber people.
