On the way to Essouaria, we passed a tree full of goats. We couldn't stop so didn't have much time to look - I said to David, "They must be stuffed goats put there for effect!" - but who would fill a tree with stuffed goats?! Anyway, the goats do climb argan trees in order to eat the nuts, these than pass through their systems and the "pits" are collected and the oil extracted; it is highly sought after and is used in face creams despite having passed through a goat. A little further on, we saw another goat in a tree - fascinating! Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to get any pictures but it was true - believe me!
Still on the subject of goats, this poor fella was being transported on the back of a van!
