| GOATS FROM CENTRAL MOROCCO: A REMARKABLE EXAMPLE OF ADAPTATION. |
Unable to find a single blade of grass, goats from central and southern Morocco have adapted to climb tree branches. This info was given to us by a tourist on the ferry bound to Ceuta, and we received it with some skepticism.
Once in Morocco, we noticed
postcards showing goats on trees
in every souvenir store and dismissed it as a montage; in fact, the
same shops also displayed montages of mermaids, curiously endowed with a
fish head and a female body from the belt down! Imagine our surprise
when, at the side of the highway, we spotted a tree crowded with goats.
From there on, it became a regular sight.
