Mountain goats are some of the best climbers on Earth. Their hooves are split into two parts that can move separately, gripping tiny ledges that look impossibly thin. They can stand on a rock the size of a tea cup.
In southern Morocco, where the argan trees grow, goats famously climb up into the branches. Six or seven might balance on one tree at a time. Tourists drive for hours to see this and many people don't believe it is real until they see it for themselves.
Goats are friendly, curious and clever. They are sometimes called 'mountain dogs with horns' because they will follow people, recognise their shepherds, and learn their own names. They have a wide range of bleats - one for hungry, one for hello, one for 'something's not right'.
In the Atlas Mountains, goat's milk is made into a soft white cheese - especially around Chefchaouen, the blue town. Sometimes the cheese is wrapped in green leaves to keep it fresh on long mountain walks.
