Find out how the tree-climbing skills of these goats in Morocco help them, the plants and the local people.



This goat is munching away but where do you think it is?





It's on top of a tree! In places like the south west of Morocco, North Africa, where the plants and trees are far apart and fewer, goats use their climbing skills to find their food.





Here the animals have climbed up an argan tree to get to the fresh fruit at the top. They can climb an impressive 8-10 metres to do this. Herders often help the younger goats learn how to climb.






They found that once the goats have eaten the fruit they spit out the nuts later in the day, wherever they are. This helps the seeds spread to other locations where a new plant can grow
