There was a time, in a distant land, when goats used to climb trees. It might sound like a children’s tale—but it’s real. And yet, it isn’t. These goats, natural climbers, stand like ornaments in the canopies of Argan trees in Morocco.

However, according to National Geographic, this spectacle is not entirely natural. While the goats possess the ability to climb, they are trained to do so as a tourist attraction. This practice, encouraged by farmers, helps draw visitors to the region, providing income in an area severely affected by drought.
