Procavia Heterohyrax Dendrohyrax
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A hyrax is any of about 11 species of fairly small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. They live in Africa and the Middle East. Despite the unexceptional appearance of modern hyraxes, the order has a remarkable prehistoric lineage and hyraxes may be the closest living relatives of the elephant.
