The hyrax, also known as the rock hyrax or dassie, is a small, herbivorous mammal found in Africa and the Middle East. Hyraxes have a stocky body with short legs, a short tail, and rounded ears. They are known for their unique social behavior, often living in close-knit colonies on rocky outcrops or in trees. Hyraxes are well adapted to their rocky habitats, with specialized feet and toe pads that allow them to climb and grip onto steep surfaces. They primarily feed on vegetation, and their diet consists of a variety of plant material such as leaves, flowers, and fruits. Hyraxes are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and communicate with each other using a variety of vocalizations. They are interesting and relatively lesser-known animals, with their closest living relatives being elephants and manatees, despite their outward appearance resembling that of a rodent or a small mammal.
