Goats in trees. We love them. You love them.
Why are they there? When On Earth has an answer:
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.
This really gets our goat, in a great way. Enjoy!
