Goats on the tree Trip from Agadir
Why Do Goats Climb Trees in Agadir?
-
Food Scarcity on the Ground: In Agadir, dry conditions make ground-level food hard to find. Goats climb argan trees to access nutrient-rich leaves and fruits, providing a reliable food source during the dry seasons.
-
Natural Climbing Adaptation: Goats have cloven hooves and a flexible build that allows them to balance easily on tree branches, particularly the thorny argan trees.
-
Ecosystem and Seed Dispersal: When goats eat the fruits, they help spread argan seeds, supporting tree growth and regeneration in the region.
-
Tourism and Cultural Significance: The sight of goats climbing trees has become an iconic tourist attraction in Agadir, showcasing both unique wildlife and the region’s sustainable connection to nature.
