Tree Goats! - Neatorama

Today's Cellar / Neatorama Images of the Week are these weird tree-climbing goats:

Wildlife photo blogger Remo Savisaar posted an entry on tree goats - that's right, goats that climb trees! Apparently this is quite a common phenomenon in Morocco.

Turns out, the goats are eating the nuts from the argan trees.

For more fun images, please visit Cellar Image of the Day (and browse through their 5 years' worth of archives!)

Most all goats will climb trees. Typically as a goat farmer it is paramount to cut all trees close to a fence line or they will climb the tree an crop down on the other side. They will also climb an improper fence, car, refrigerator or anything in the field. There examples of "Lazy" breeds that just don't seem to have the motivation.

I hope the fainting goats you posted earlier never try to climb trees... that could end rather badly.

When I put one of these pics up at my site, a reader, Ken, came up with this:

Humidity's rising
Barometer's getting low
According to all sources
The tree's the place to go

It's raining goats
Hallelujah it's raining goats, Amen
It's raining goats
Hallelujah it's raining goats, Amen

No, they are fleeing La Chupacabra!
