If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.

I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.

@Holberg Oh, wow! Now that sounds like an experience!
@WhatTheChel It really is! AND THEN there is also expensive argan oil that is made from seeds that have passed through their digestive systems. Which sounds so gross but actually itโ€™s very tasty haha. (Also, Essaouira is a really stunning place to visit!)
@Holberg Wait... THAT'S how argan oil is made??? I use argan oil for its moisturizing benefits but didn't actually know it was edible. And now that I know how it's produced, it shall remain inedible...to me. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But yes, the place looks beautiful!
@WhatTheChel I donโ€™t think ALL argan oil is made that way haha. Labor intensive and Iโ€™m pretty sure itโ€™s just the high-grade oil made for cuisine. But Iโ€™m not an expert so donโ€™t quote me in that :)
@WhatTheChel And I understand why this process wonโ€™t tempt you to try it haha.
@Holberg Pretty sure I've heard of some other food product that also passes through an animal's digestive system, although I'm blanking on what it was. (Or, more likely, I've intentionally blotted it out! ๐Ÿ˜‚) I would just like to know who the first person was who looked at animal scat and said, "Something in there sure looks tasty..." LOL
@WhatTheChel RIGHT?? It would not have been I! I think there's a coffee bean that's gone through a monkey's digestive system or something? Not going to google this because I'm worried about photos that might appear haha.
@Holberg Yes! I think that's it! ๐Ÿ˜‚ And it's super expensive. Now, I love coffee and would even go as far as saying I'm a coffee snob (I import my beans directly from Costa Rica ๐Ÿ™ˆ). But no amount of cachet is going to make me even consider monkey poop beans...
@WhatTheChel Okay, you made me legit lol with 'monkey poop beans'
@Holberg I'm sure that's not anywhere in their marketing materials, but hey... ๐Ÿ˜‚
@WhatTheChel @Holberg I think it was civets.
@rora_borealis Yes, thanks! I've been told it's civet-digested coffee beans. And um, just no. ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜‚

@skry Thanks! I still don't understand whyyyy.... ๐Ÿ˜‚
