Seen a set of photos. A flock of sheep are in a big tree. Can sheep really climb trees?

Sheep is an important livestock. This is a treasure. From wool to mutton to goat's milk, it has been making great contributions to human society. I believe that in the impression of most people, sheep can eat grass and run freely on the grass. But you know what? In the mysterious African continent, there is a goat that can climb trees. Is this a miracle or a scam? What is the reason behind "goats climb trees"?

Is it a miracle or a scam that goats can climb a three-story tree? Why do Moroccan goats climb trees? At the western end of North Africa, there is a coastal Arab country called the Kingdom of Morocco. The terrain of this country is quite complicated. Except for some narrow plains along the northwest coast, most parts of the country are located in mountainous areas and plateaus. Under the control of subtropical high belt and the influence of canary cold current, the climate in this area is mainly dry tropical desert with little rain. Many areas are barren sandy land with tall trees called Moroccan nut trees. This kind of nut tree is called Moroccan nut tree locally, and its crown height is 8- 10 meter, which is equivalent to the height of three floors in China.

Is it a miracle or a scam that goats can climb a three-story tree? Why do Moroccan goats climb trees? Of course, the surprise is not the height of this nut tree, but the goats standing on each tree. This is a spectacular scene of a Moroccan goat climbing a tree, which is widely circulated on the Internet. Seen from a distance, these goats all seem to grow on trees. Many people may not be able to imagine how a goat climbed a three-story tree unless they saw it with their own eyes. When this phenomenon was spread by tourists on the Internet, it attracted worldwide attention. Two biologists from Spain visited Morocco to try to find out why goats climb trees.

Of course, more curious people will also travel to Morocco. Mountaineering has become the most famous tourist hotspot in this area. But recently, some media revealed that this phenomenon was fabricated by local shepherds to make money. The goat didn't climb the tree by itself, but was picked up by the shepherd.
