I guarantee you this picture is not photo shopped, though it looks like it could be!

In Southwest Morocco, the land is extremely dry, and often the only available foliage is up in the trees.

While these goats are natural climbers-in the mountains-they do not have the natural ability to climb trees.

The goats' trainers teach the baby goats how to climb, and assist them in doing so, even trimming the trees in such a way as to make climbing easier.

The goats eventually learn to climb the trees on their own, and in the fall, when food sources on the ground are scarce, they spend most of their time grazing in the treetops!

Apparently, the goats and the Argan trees have developed a sort of symbiotic relationship, since the goats are unable to pass the inch long, half-inch wide seeds, and therefore spit the seeds out, often far from the host plant, increasing the odds of seed and seedling survival.

The obvious question:

If a goat can learn to climb a tree...How tough can it be for us to build and monetize a website?

Let us find inspiration in the Moroccan tree-climbing goats!
