WebEcoist: Incredible tree-climbing goats of Morocco!

The Axolotl is not a fish, it's a kind of salamander. What the Axolotl has in common with human being is that it can stay its whole life at the larva stage, i.e. it can reach sexual maturity and reproduce without becoming an adult...

There's a nice short story from Julio Cortazar about axolotls.

Thank you for reminding me my childhood in Morocco!

The tree these goats are climbing in is an Argan. It is a very ancient kind of tree that grows only in the south of Morocco and some parts of Algeria. Its nuts produce a very good oil.
