Goat climbing in Morocco

In drought conditions, scarcity of drinking water and food, goats in Morocco are forced to adapt to tree life in search of essential food.

Goats are creatures known for their ability to climb mountains, climb high cliffs. However, many people are less aware of their ability to climb trees.

According to MNN, goats can stand and balance on tiny branches to find food. This is especially popular in Morocco, where food is scarce and argan plants produce a particularly attractive fruit for goats.

The feet of goat-climbing goats in Morocco are also quite interesting. The feet are split in half, consisting of two toes that can stretch and stretch freely to cling to the branches. The suspension part is like a lever, making it easy to climb on a ridge or tree branch.
