In Morocco, there are some really unique things for which one is worth this country. One of them - FLYING GOAT . Actually in order to see this natural wonder with my own eyes and I went to this weird African hinterland to the ocean. course, goats do not fly - they just graze on trees . Actually, this is the most common standard goats. But land in Morocco is quite arid and lush grass for the goats do not have enough food, so they climb the argan trees in search of food. Argan tree unique natural phenomenon and grows only in a few regions of Morocco.From the seeds of fruits make very expensive and valuable argan oil used in cooking and cosmetics. Production of oil exclusively manual labor, but I'll explain some other time.
Despite all the advances in modern technology, these trees still have not learned how to artificially planted, and they all grow very naturally and where they want. They repeatedly tried to cultivate in other countries and regions, but to no avail - the trees never produce fruit. That is why there are not many and they are very valuable. basic diet of local Moroccan goats is green (succulent leaves) argan trees, containing a large amount of moisture and minerals. Pets are not much different from the wild goat, and mountain goat easily overcomes trails inaccessible even for climbers with regalia. Not always visible from a distance, that the goats are on the trees. But if you carefully get closer, the picture is amazing: goat hooves are arranged so that the goat could easily go on seemingly smooth steep slope, and climb to the green tree, for it does not present much difficulty. But it looks sooooo impressive! Koz, who can climb trees, can be found in mountainous regions - the High and Middle Atlas and Souss Valley and in the south-western part of Morocco on the Atlantic coast, but only in the villages of Afra and Imzi on the site between the cities of Agadir and Essaouira. Here they are, fortunately, it's easy to see right off the highway, which follows the coastline snake Moroccan Atlantic, where actually graze these funny and cute animals. Nobody drives goats on trees specifically, they choose their yourself on the path of the herd, stopping where the likes and climbing quite chaotic at a great height on the thin branch. By the way, the bark of trees Agranova incredibly strong, because they got their common name - ironwood. That's how high "flying" the leader of the herd: Goats are quite shy and do not particularly like people, when approached and camera flashes, they either turn to you loin, or just go down (jump) from the trees, and the whole crowd move away to a safe distance . So, if you still find them once - do not frighten them excessive reduction in the distance. Your One-touch animal can lead to the fact that all the flock can quickly "roll up" and go away. And you have to go all over the 40-50 degree heat in search of a new good luck :) No one can guarantee that your trip in search of flying goats will be successful, and you will still be able to meet a herd of "riding" on the tree, but I (as always) very lucky! PS: I'd like to please you with a complete cycle of publications of his journey to Morocco. But now, alas, I can not. Therefore I will try to publish the most interesting and popular part of their ability to be continued ... :)
