Morocco: tree-climbing goats on the road to Essaouira. The goats climb a particular species of tree, the Argan (Argania spinosa) to eat the nuts which are embedded in a layer of pulp. However the nuts are not ripe until June and at other times of the year the goats are induced to climb the trees for the benefit of tourists. The kernels of the Argan nuts contain a valuable oil, which has beneficial properties when consumed by humans, and are avidly harvested.
