Why are the goats of North Africa able to crawl around in the trees?

Due to the local climate conditions, the average annual rainfall is 300 mm, and the sheep here like to eat the argan fruit endemic to North Africa, and the argan tree grows very short due to the low annual rainfall in the region, and the goats climb the tree to eat the fruit.

North African goats are very different from the goats we have seen, they are not only able to climb mountains, but also to climb around trees. Mainly due to the living environment, as there are more and more predators, the goats have developed a good pair of legs, so they can climb trees.

The climate is changeable, with hot and dry summers and mild and humid winters, so there is a lack of water, and the goats have developed the ability to climb trees in order to be able to eat the fruit of the trees, and the trees they climb are argan trees, which are 8 to 10 meters high.

The reason why goats in North Africa can climb trees is mainly because of the lack of grasslands in the local area, only more bushes, goats are forced to climb up the bushes to eat fruits or leaves in order to survive, which is also the principle of survival of the fittest, in fact, the hooves of goats are suitable for climbing trees, you can climb up the kind of cliffs, what is it to climb trees.

The goat's hooves are pointy and small, so on a sloping hillside, it can stand on a sloping hillside if it finds a little "plane". It seems to us that it is standing on a slope, which is peculiar, and to the goat, it is actually standing on a "staircase" - for the sheep's hooves, the slope is covered with small flat steps.

When a person climbs up a shaft (well, cellar, etc.), it is difficult to climb if the wall of the well is flat, but it is very easy to dig a few pits shallowly in the wall of the well so that you can reach in and step on your toes. This pit is only as big as a toe. Goats are highly gregarious.

Whether grazing or house feeding, goats always like to move together, among which the older, more offspring, and strong sheep play the role of "head sheep". Led by the head sheep, the other sheep can only obediently follow the grazing, in and out, in and out of bed, over bridges and through narrow areas. Gregariousness facilitates the grazing of goats in large herds.

The same goes for sheep. The tip of the hooves is very small and the edges are very hard, and the structure of the hooves ensures that the small tip or edge can support the weight, so the sheep can find a little plane on the rock wall or tree trunk and step on it and stand firm. Because our feet are much larger than sheep's hooves, we will ignore the smallness of this plane, and the sheep will not.

Goats and rock goats can climb mountains and rocks, but sheep cannot. It is estimated that it is related to its legs and joints, and goats are also good at jumping, with large bones and joints, and thick ligaments on the outside, so they are very powerful even if they are complete. In terms of body size, the shoulders are stronger than the hips, and they are also suitable for rock climbing.

Goats are brave and lively, agile and witty, like to climb, good at loaming, are lively small ruminants, and love gladiatorial fights.

These goats are masters of rock climbing, and they have been on cliffs all their lives, and no animal dares to beat them.

This is thanks to a special hoof that has evolved over a long period of time.

It has evolved over the ages to form a unique four-hoof.

It's by its strong climbing hooves.

By those grippy hooves.

They have a special organ.

First of all, a large part of the credit goes to their unique four hooves. The hooves of the Rocky Goats are elastic, with a protruding outer edge and a soft inner pad, and the hooves are split in half to provide enough friction to grip the cliff face so that they can walk freely on it.

Goats, also known as summer goats, black sheep or lambs and sheep, were among the first domesticated animals to be domesticated by humans, dating back at least 10,000 years, with the earliest domestication motivated by the ease with which goat hair, meat and milk were easily obtained.

The goat is a mountain herbivore, and in order to adapt to survival, it has ladder-like hooves and strong front legs, which are very conducive to crawling on large slopes.

The best satisfaction is to give satisfaction to others

The reason why goats are called goats is mainly because goats are active by nature and have strong climbing ability.

This starts with the origin of goats, which are wild sheep and are distributed in dry places such as grasslands and mountains. Most scholars believe that the modern goat originated from the horned sheep in Central Asia (the latter is 90 cm tall and the ram has horns of more than 1 meter long. It is still found in the mountainous areas of Asia Minor, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It is also believed that the snail horn sheep (and the wild goats in Europe, which are also the ancestors of the domestic goat, inhabit the mountainous areas of Kashmir, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Domestication began nearly 8,000 years ago, making it one of the first animals domesticated by humans.

Since goats are herbivores, their natural enemies are carnivores such as eagles and wolves. In order to avoid danger, the goats are gradually driven to the mountain, and when wolves and other animals chase the sheep, they jump to the steep place of the mountain, and over time the goats adapt to survive on the mountain.

If there is no grass on the mountain, will he still go up?

This is caused by the living environment of goats in the past, and it has gradually become a habit of life.

Habits! Breed characteristics! Genetic traits!

There was a sheep who wanted to go to the top of the mountain to graze, and it climbed up the mountain, and it climbed and climbed, and the sheep got tired.

The sheep said:"I'm not afraid of being tired, I climb as high as the mountain is! "

The sheep climbed and crawled again, and the sheep was very tired, and the sheep said:"I'm not afraid of being tired, I climb as high as the mountain is! "

The sheep continued to climb and crawl, and the sheep was very tired, and the sheep said, "Slippery and rough.""I'm not afraid of being tired, I climb as high as the mountain is! "

The sheep has been climbing this mountain all its life, and it only thinks about the fragrant fresh grass on the top of the mountain, but it ignores that there are patches of fresh grass passing by on the way, and it turns a blind eye.

When the sheep finally climbed to the top of the mountain, it saw where it belonged: the top of the mountain, there was no grass.

Opportunities are to be seized in a timely manner, and it is sometimes more effective to adjust your goals appropriately.

This story tells us that as we get closer to our goal, we must not forget that there will be beautiful flowers along the way. Although it may not be as beautiful as the top of the mountain, it will also be different from what you see and hear along the way. So don't ignore the point of Xinlu Town.
