Goat trees?

Goats climb to eat the Argan ,''The Tree of  Life''  fruit in a village in southwest Morocco.It creates the illusion that goats are spread out on trees.When goats eat the fruit and then spit out the hard seeds,farmers pick up the seeds.The seeds of the Argan tree fruit can be used to obtain oïl for cooking or making cosmetics.

                                       Argan trees growing in the Moroccan water Valley area  are about 8,20,000 hectares,which is only about half the number of argan trees that existed half a century ago.Currently,UNESCO in 2021 has set the last remaining argan tree forest on Earth as a biosphere reserve since 1999,and it is said that the Berber tribes pick about  4,000 tons of fruit  by hand each  year excluding the Moroccan goats and animals eating it.And as the efficacy of argan oïl became known,it is now one of the most expensive oils  on Earth.
