Climbing goats at Agadir, Morocco

Climbing goats at Agadir, Morocco - June 2012

Many thanks to Danielle Petrie
for sharing her photo.

The secret to the goats ability to climb
lies in the shape of their hooves.

The keratin reinforced hoof wall adds strength,
while the soft textured sole provides traction
and grip. It's also capable of deforming inwards
to counter irregularities in the terrain.

Their toes are capable of operating independently
giving them more of a "grip".

These cloven-hoofed goats only climb
one particular type of tree: the Argania spinosa,
typically referred to as the Argan Tree.

The tree is endemic to southwest Morocco.

A prickly and thorny tree,
it produces small yellowish flowers,
which then produce a fairly small fruit.

The fruit’s seed is within a nut,
which is further surrounded by soft flesh
and a tough outer skin.

The fruit’s pulp is what attracts the goats
to the Argan Trees.

While the creatures will happily keep all hooves
firmly on the ground
and graze on low-hanging fruit,
but once they have gobbled
the easy-to-reach produce,
they will scramble up into the tree
in search of more.

The fruit is not consumed by humans.
