Animal Description

About the Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis)

The rock hyrax is a medium-sized terrestrial animal that can be found across most of Africa and parts of the middle east. Its fur is typically brownish grey in color, and it prefers an overlook habitat with plenty of views to spot predators, as well as lots of brush and rocky crevices where it can quickly retreat to safety. Hyrax generally grows to between 8-10 lbs in weight and tend to feed mostly on grass, seeds, insects, and grubs with their unusually large upper incisors.
