Spooky Did you know goats could climb trees? Well, anyway, I didn’t but it turns out, goats climb trees very often in Morocco.
These Moroccan goats you see in the photos climb the Argan trees with incredible ease, in order to get to the delicious fruits that the locals use to make oil. I knew some things about goats, but the fact that they climb trees was not one of them. And before you start yelling “It’s photoshopped!” check out the video at the bottom.

holy cow, that’s amazing.
great~!!!!
Amazing~!!!!
funny goats confused tree with mountain
This video has been photoshopped !
Don’t you mean holy goat?
it’s videoshopped…
It’d be neat to see a video of the goats jumping into the tree.
Fake, they photoshopped out all of the tin cans from the tree.
It’s premiered!
dats weird
My thoughts are that they at one time were being persued by a predator and took to the tree up high for safety. So the trait continues. Its truely amazing and one of a kind.
It’s a rare Goat Tree.
Goat tree?
Isn’t that a type of beard?
…..I’m sorry
It’s true. They eat the “nuts” which grow on those trees. After the nuts have passed through their digestive system and are expelled, boys gather and sell them to people who process them and express an oil from them, which is used in cooking. The digestive system softens the out shell. That’s the truth, no kidding. We have a little bottle of it but have never tried it.
I saw this myself in 1973, after reading about it and not believing it either. There was no other vegetation anywhere else around, so I assumed the goats went into the tree to get what little green stuff existed. I didn’t know about the nuts.
If you were hungry you’d climb a tree in a heartbeat. Even dogs can climb trees
Goats do not climb trees!!! It is the sheperds who put the goats up in the tree. They do it because there is no grass in Marroco, then they can eat leaves from the trees.
Angel you really should check the internet before saying dumb shit. Google tree climbing goats and you’ll find video of them climbing the argan trees. A new idiot finds the internet every day!!!
Amazing! That’s so cool.
Saw this in Peru up in the Andes. But not quite as many as these Moroccans… Thinking about it now I suppose it was the same reason – not much grass around so they thought they’d give the tree a go.
Nahhh guys, they weren’t climbing the trees, that’s where goats come from. They are credited as being the only animal in the world that spawns from plant life. It’s true, look it up. They don’t mate and give birth to babies, like all other animals in the world. No joke. I thought everyone already knew this though, the goats featured in the video were ripe, so they fell, hence the saying “The goat doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Here’s proof:

Ive seen them recently was in Morocco 2 moths ago and saw the goats climbing trees near Agadir.
finally the truth comes out!
VIDEOSHOPPED!
Jesse is made of so much win (s)he probably shits goats. That’s a lot of win, too.
Also, this comment box is horrible. Next time implement a way for the user’s message to not disappear if they click elsewhere then back in the box.,
Dammit, there goes my escape plan when zombie goats roam the earth.
OBVIOUSLY PHOTOS———-oh, okay, wow.
holy cow
I would never think about something like this
what tree is that? a so thin branch should break under the weight of a goat!
OMG!!! That was something unpredictable……..are you sure this is not photoshop work?
Weird!!!!
That’s very funny >_> silly goats
My father used to tell us all storys about the family goat that climbed trees. Everybody thought he was a bullshitter! Ooops sorry Dad
that is obviously shopped you idiots
Cool! Do you think a Goat Tree would grow in the midwest, or is it too humid here? Also, how difficult is it to rake up uncollected, over-ripe goats from your yard? (I don’t want to accidentally run over one with the lawn mower, might damage my blades)
I saw the video but still can’t believe it…they have hooves!!!!
They are ground dwellers that haven’t been told so
So am I to understand that watching a goat fall out of a tree should be that much more hilarious than watching a squirrel fall out of a tree?
wow
U are a nerd and gay this website is for people who have no friends
Evolution in process
Wow Cool !
Super Man
Nice Site
It is prety odd.
I took part in an expedition to Ghana in Africa this summer, and I spotted a goat up a shea nut tree. It was bizarre.
My sister thinks she is a goat. She falls from trees too.
actually she is a goat.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!
this is shit
Hi guys:
Ever been to Morocco? Next time you are there just ask a cab driver to take you to see these Argan trees (around July when the fruit falls). Goats do in fact like to climb these trees or why would they have the Argan woodlands guarded to keep them out. They love to eat the fruit. I do not suggest any humans to eat it. Tastes pretty bad I heard. The oil is good for the skin and I have seen skin care products on the market made from the oil.
[...] Some goats like to spend thier afternoon in a tree [...]
I’m from morocco and I come from the south of the country (Souss) where this is a common thing. This even more spectacular when you know that this tree (Argan tree) has stings on the branches ….
FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
