These goats threw caution to the wind and scaled this Argan tree right to the very top, even balancing on the most unsturdy of branches. It looks like a bit of a baa-lancing act, but the goats’ hooves are perfectly adapted to climbing the trees, where they graze on the Argan fruit. The tree itself is thorny with gnarled trunks and it is impossible for people to climb to get the world’s most popular Argan oil which is used for cosmetics and for health. After digesting the Argan fruits, the goats defecate the kernel of the fruit. The villagers then collect these digested kernels and sell them to production plants where the kernel is cleaned, processed and sold as Argan oil.
