Tree-Climbing Goats

[CivicDew]

If fire departments get tired of "my cat is up a tree" calls then they would love this.

In Morocco, the native Tamri goats are so enticed by the berries of Argan trees that they have become adept at climbing the branches to reach their food. Even stranger still, the goats' droppings contain seed kernels which local farmers then grind into an oil that is used in cooking and cosmetics.

They are like tree ornaments.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh if I saw this in person!

I've seen mountain goats walk on step ledges but HOW are these goats standing on thin branches and how are they holding that weight.

Goat poo cooking oil...no thanks. Stick with cat poo if you want a high quality product. "Kopi luwak"

Anyone else notice that the goats sound like angry birds?

 

[KennyGS]

Are you sure there aren't angry birds in the trees as a result of the goats?

Actually, that would make a great new A-B game, to use goats instead of pigs and monkeys.
