Check out these terrific photos from The Cellar. We’ve actually covered this phenomenon in the magazine before (in a Spinning the Globe on Morocco), but it’s fairly common for the region’s goats to mosey up trees in search of food. According to the blog where the photos come from, the practice also occurs in regions of Northern India and other drought-ridden areas. In any case, I love the pics, and figured they had to be posted. Link via the ever-fantastic TheCellar.

That’s incredible! It must be pretty cool seeing them when they are baby goats trying to go up the branches and falling a few times before they get it right.
