So, I went to Morocco and because I could I went in search of goats for Beebo. It took a side trip from Marrakech to a town called Essaouira (pronounced sa-wiwa if you're interested) and on the way there was a stop off to see the goats.
Apparently the goats are part of the ecosystem for the argan tree. they eat the fruit and then wander off to shit the seeds elsewhere. Nature eh? However, nothing is ever as it seems and the goats in my pics are encouraged into the tree for the tourists. The children support their families from the tips the tourists on the tour buses give. I've read reports of goats being tied to the trees to keep them in place but these were free range goats who had been trained to hang out there.
(I don't think I've got the hang of the imgur thing yet but hey ho)
edited to spell Beebo's name correctly - I obviously had a brain failure at the time of posting
