I adore hyraxes. I didn’t even know they existed until about a year ago and now I do want one! 🙃 Hyraxes, also known as dassies or rock rabbits, are small, thickset, furry herbivores native to Africa. They are unique mammals in their own order, and are distantly related to elephants and manatees. Appearance: Hyraxes are stout, well-furred animals with short tails and stumpy toes. They have four front toes and three back toes, with hoof-like nails and longer, claw-like nails for grooming. #animals #happyplace #hyrax #iloveanimals #smileawhile #stayhappyandpositive #socute
