Tree Climbing Goats (Morocco)
Right before you hop to conclusions: absolutely no, all these were not designed by a fed up geek in Photoshop. Incredibly, all these uncanny creatures actually are real; they climb up the Argan plants of Morocco searching for food, which is really limited in the area. Eventually they possess not just capable to climb trees but completely skilled at the art – they traipse across plants with a sure-footedness which is difficult to picture from a hoofed creature.

Shoe Tree in Nevada (US)
Shoe Tree in Nevada (US)
Unlike most roadside attractions, the Shoe Tree isn't some sort of gimmick or money-making scheme. Instead of flashy signs and entrance fees, this is simply a lonesome and mysterious tree laden with hundreds, if not thousands, of shoes located on a deserted stretch of highway between the cities of Ely and Reno. Although no one makes a profit off the bizarre beauty of this tree, many people have contributed their shoes to the tree over the years and it has amassed a kind of cult following.
Easter Eggs in Saalfeld (Germany)
Easter Eggs in Saalfeld (Germany)
Volker Kraft's apple sapling sported just 18 eggs when he first decorated it for Easter in 1965. Decades later, the sturdy tree is festooned with 9,800 eggs, artfully decorated with everything from sequins to sea shells. Decking trees with hollowed-out, painted eggs for Easter is popular in Germany, but the 75-year-old retiree's annual creation has become something special. In 2010, it drew more than 13,000 visitors. Kraft needs two weeks and countless trips up and down his ladder to hang the eggs and the task has become a little heavier each year since he began the decorations in 1965. Kraft started with plastic eggs. Each year, the project grew; he switched to real eggs and enlisted his three children's help in blowing out and painting them.

Island of The Dolls (Mexico)
Island of The Dolls (Mexico)
The Valley of the Dolls was one place, located in the mind of author, Jacqueline Susann. Mexico's Island of The Dolls, however, situated south of Mexico City deep within an extensive network of canals, is not only weird, it is also real.
La Isla de las Muñecas is a bizarre tourist attraction by anyone's standards. Old mutilated dolls adorn almost every tree growing on the island, in silent tribute to the spirit of the child. According to legend, three young girls were playing and one of them drowned. A hermit named Don Julian Santana chose the remote island for his home and honored the spirit of the dead child by making a natural altar out of discarded dolls. He would bring them to the island and tie them to the trees. (Link)
