Amazing tree climbing goats of Morocco

I had no intention of posting anything today, I was just doing some research when I came across this, and just had to share it with you.

In Morocco, goats climb and perch in the branches of the Argan tree in search of its fruit, which contains a small number of almond-shaped nuts. After the nuts are excreted by the goats, local farmers use them to produce a rich, golden-colored oil that has a nutty, buttery taste and is said to have medicinal properties.

So these goats climb trees to get the nuts that the farmers cannot reach, the farmers wait around till the goats have had their fill, and need to have a good S**t, then collect whats left of the nuts to make oil that has a nutty buttry taste, with a little bit of goat crap thrown in for added flavour.

I wonder who the first person was to see these goats climbing trees,  and why on earth did he think it would be a good idea to rake through the goat crap and collect the leftover nuts to make oil?

    Hello Bob Thanks for stopping by, its actually quite easy to write something about Morocco, there is always something happening or something different.

    this reminds me of the mountain goats in Oman. So many in tons on the mountains in Salalah, and a wonderful view from a distance. White, hairy goats spread across the slanting mountain is a site to see.

    Probably the same person who thought of raking through civet shit for coffee beans. Most expensive coffee in the world.
