Goat on the tree

#celebratewithtrip After leaving Essaouira on the Rte regionale 207 toward my next destination Casablanca, about 48 kilometers 45 minutes drive, we reached the town called Ouled Mrah, we stopped at the roadside and proceeded to one of the trees Goats with the help of their hoofs, which have two toes that can spread out to create a more secure footing, and two vestigial toes higher up their legs, called dewclaws, that can be used as leverage to climb up a mountain side, or a tree branch. This only happens in Morocco the place that is famous for the production of Argan oil. These goats climb the argan trees and eat the fruits, swallowing the core which look a bit like almond. ( happen in the wild ). Here, the goats are being train and forced to stay in the trees for hours, but don have access to food.
