The Tree Goats of Morocco

Morocco’s Argania trees are infested with nut-hungry goats!

AtlasObscura: Grown almost exclusively in Morocco, the Argania is a rare and protected species after years of over-farming and clear-cutting. The tree produces an annual fruit crop, and it is this delicious morsel that attracts legions of local goats who hop up into the branches to pick out the fruit.

Like an image out of a goat-cast wire-fu film, the animals stand on the impossibly precarious branches and get down to their seasonal feast. Far from just a single ambitious goat climbing a single tree, the animals tend to swarm into the branches in number.  See More

  1. It does sound bad, but I’m standing by my statement. Nuts are good for you, and I’m not talking about the reggie love / barack obama type of nuts. And on top of that, look at that picture, have you ever seen a tree full of goats before?

  2. “After the goats finish eating the fruit and nuts off the tree, they pass (shit) valuable clumps of seed which is then pressed to create the sought after Argan Oil.”
    Nut fer nuttin’ Eugenia,: but I use Brylcreem: “a little dab’ll do ya.” lol.

  3. btw, noble argon is a gas.

    Are these the goats that George Cloonatic was getting all hot and bothered with by staring at them until they fall over and become submissive?

    Never saw it, sounded a little to weird for me, if you know what I mean.

    And yemenimean does not mean ‘you know what I mean’

    But, fuhgeddaboudit has been recognized by the oxford dictionary, really.
